Investigating Software Aging in LLM-Generated Software Systems across Generation-and-Execution Environments

It is found that functional correctness alone is insufficient to assess the operational reliability of LLM-generated software before deployment in continuously running environments, and aging trends can also emerge in manually developed implementations.

Modeling Physical Activity Profiles in COPD Patients: A Basis Expansion Approach to Variable Domain Functional Regression Models

A novel basis expansion approach is proposed to fit a variable‐domain functional regression model, which assumes the functional nature of the covariate (daily steps) and incorporates the sample data into the model without alignment to enrich the interpretability of the model.

Formally verifying agent-written full-stack web apps with PDD Kit

AI agents can generate code at a scale that’s hard for humans to review line-by-line. PDD Kit helps ensure the code is doing what the developer intended by creating formal specifications and testing against them. It converts developer intent into a Verus specification, proves AI-generated code meets it for every input, and uses tests where proofs aren't practical. Developers review intent, not every line. The post Formally verifying agent-written full-stack web apps with PDD Kit appeared first o…
