This work proposes a model-based approach that optimizes model parameters, and evaluates first- and best-improvement algorithms, simulated annealing (SA), threshold accepting (TA), and two novel algorithms utilizing directional derivatives (dd) to guide exchanges.
This paper presents an empirical evaluation of Large Language Models (LLMs) for automated model-based test generation, compared with a state-of-the-art model-based testing tool (GraphWalker) and its built-in algorithms (random and quick random for edge and vertex coverage settings).

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.

AI-assisted development tools enable software engineers to generate implementations at substantially higher speed and volume than in traditional workflows, yet relatively little is known about how existing guardrails evolve in response.
This work presents the first characterization study of open-source satellite software, examining its ecosystem and development practices, revealing a highly heterogeneous and task-specialized ecosystem with 66 programming languages and diverse implementation strategies.

An entity-only external interface with task-conditioned relation materialization during inference with two-layer index separates global routing from local entity focus is proposed and evaluated on DeepSeek-V4-Flash and SWE-bench Verified.
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…
