SoK: Automated Vulnerability Repair: Methods, Tools, and Assessments
The increasing complexity of software has led to the steady growth of vulnerabilities. Vulnerability repair investigates how to fix software vulnerabilities. Manual vulnerability repair is labor-intensive and time-consuming because it relies on human experts, highlighting the importance of Automated Vulnerability Repair (AVR). In this SoK, we present the systematization of AVR methods through the three steps of AVR workflow: vulnerability analysis, patch generation, and patch validation. We ass…

From Empirical Evaluation to Context-Aware Enhancement: Repairing Regression Errors with LLMs
[...] Since then, various APR approaches, especially those leveraging the power of large language models (LLMs), have been rapidly developed to fix general software bugs. Unfortunately, the effectiveness of these advanced techniques in the context of regression bugs remains largely unexplored. This gap motivates the need for an empirical study evaluating the effectiveness of modern APR techniques in fixing real-world regression bugs. In this work, we conduct an empirical study of APR techniqu…

The Deferred Acceptance (DA) algorithm is stable and strategy-proof, but can produce outcomes that are Pareto-inefficient for students, and thus several alternative mechanisms have been proposed to correct this inefficiency. However, we show that these mechanisms cannot correct DA's rank-inefficiency and inequality, because these shortcomings can arise even in cases where DA is Pareto-efficient. We also examine students' segregation in settings with advantaged and marginalized students. We pr…

Fun with flags: How Compilers Break and Fix Constant-Time Code
Developers rely on constant-time programming to prevent timing side-channel attacks. But these efforts can be undone by compilers, whose optimizations may silently reintroduce leaks. While recent works have measured the extent of such leakage, they leave developers without actionable insights: which optimization passes are responsible, and how to disable them without modifying the compiler remains unclear. In this paper, we conduct a qualitative analysis of how compiler optimizations break co…

This paper studies analytic inference along two dimensions of clustering. In such setups, the commonly used approach has two drawbacks. First, the corresponding variance estimator is not necessarily positive. Second, inference is invalid in non-Gaussian regimes, namely when the estimator of the parameter of interest is not asymptotically Gaussian. We consider a simple fix that addresses both issues. In Gaussian regimes, the corresponding tests are asymptotically exact and equivalent to usual on…

We investigate $Γ$ using an $S_3$-symmetric approach. In this approach one considers $V^{\otimes 3} = V \otimes V \otimes V$ where $V$ is the standard module of $Γ$. W…

Equivariant $KK$-theory and model categories
We cast Kasparov's equivariant KK-theory in the framework of model categories. We obtain a stable model structure on a certain category of locally multiplicative convex $G$-$C^*$-algebras, which naturally contains the stable $\infty$-category $KK^G_{\operatorname{sep}}$ as described by Bunke, Engel, Land (\cite{BEL}). Non-equivariantly, $KK$-theory was studied using model categories by Joachim-Johnson (\cite{MJ}). We generalize their ideas in the equivariant case, and also fix some critical err…

A Variational Framework for Improving Naturalness in Generative Spoken Language Models
The success of large language models in text processing has inspired their adaptation to speech modeling. However, since speech is continuous and complex, it is often discretized for autoregressive modeling. Speech tokens derived from self-supervised models (known as semantic tokens) typically focus on the linguistic aspects of speech but neglect prosodic information. As a result, models trained on these tokens can generate speech with reduced naturalness. Existing approaches try to fix this by…

APRMCTS: Improving LLM-based Automated Program Repair with Iterative Tree Search
Automated Program Repair (APR) attempts to fix software bugs without human intervention, which plays a crucial role in software development and maintenance. Recently, with the advances in Large Language Models (LLMs), a rapidly increasing number of APR techniques have been proposed with remarkable performance. However, existing LLM-based APR techniques typically adopt trial-and-error strategies, which suffer from two major drawbacks: (1) inherently limited patch effectiveness due to local explo…

Heavy mesons in an effective quark model with a nonlocal interaction
We discuss the properties of light and heavy mesons in the framework of a model with nonlocal interaction. We start from the Bethe-Salpeter equation, choosing the interaction kernel in a nonlocal form with the Gaussian meson vertex function. We fix the model parameters using electromagnetic and leptonic decay constants. Within this model, we consider the neutral pion transition form factor ${F}_{πγ}$and apply the model to the transition form factors of heavy pseudoscalar mesons $η_c$ and $η…

A look at seven UX issues in the Fediverse web experience, including complex onboarding, the lack of a dedicated DM UI wrapper, and fragmented user discovery (Tim Chambers)

The Seven Deadly UX Sins of the Fediverse Web Experience (To Fix)
So, confession time: I was recently helping a new client get set up on the Fediverse—guiding them through their first steps into our glorious decentralized galaxy. And seeing it all again through fresh eyes? Reader, it was brutal. So much of what should be table stakes for any social media UX in the year of our Lord 2025 still is missing or deeply broken still. I know progress has been made and a good fight, fought.

SWE-bench Goes Live!
The issue-resolving task, where a model generates patches to fix real-world bugs, has emerged as a critical benchmark for evaluating the capabilities of large language models (LLMs). While SWE-bench and its variants have become standard in this domain, they suffer from key limitations: they have not been updated since their initial releases, cover a narrow set of repositories, and depend heavily on manual effort for instance construction and environment setup. These factors hinder scalability a…

Algebra of double cosets of a symmetric group by a smaller symmetric group
Fix a natural $α$. Let $n\ge α$ be an integer. Consider the symmetric group $S_{α+n}$ and its subgroup $S_n$. We consider the group algebra of $S_{α+n}$ and its subalgebra $\mathbb{O}[α;n]$ consisting of $S_n$-biinvariant functions, i.e., functions, which are constant on double cosets of $S_{α+n}$ with respect to $S_n$. We obtain a simple description of $\mathbb{O}[α;n]$ in terms of generators and relations. We also construct an interpolating family of algebras $\mathbb{O}[α;n]$ dependi…

Repair Ingredients Are All You Need: Improving Large Language Model-Based Program Repair via Repair Ingredients Search
Automated Program Repair (APR) techniques aim to automatically fix buggy programs. Among these, Large Language Model-based (LLM-based) approaches have shown great promise. Recent advances demonstrate that directly leveraging LLMs can achieve leading results. However, these techniques remain suboptimal in generating contextually relevant and accurate patches, as they often overlook repair ingredients crucial for practical program repair. In this paper, we propose ReinFix, a novel framework that …

The homology torsion growth of determinantal hypertrees
Fix a dimension $d\ge 2$, and let $T_n$ be a random $d$-dimensional determinantal hypertree on $n$ vertices. We prove that \[\frac{\log|H_{d-1}(T_n,\mathbb{Z})|}{n\choose {d}}\] converges in probability to a constant $c_d$, which satisfies \[\frac{1}2 \log\left(\frac{d+1}e\right)\le c_d\le \frac{1}2 \log\left(d+1\right) .\]

SemAgent: A Semantics Aware Program Repair Agent
Large Language Models (LLMs) have shown impressive capabilities in downstream software engineering tasks such as Automated Program Repair (APR). In particular, there has been a lot of research on repository-level issue-resolution benchmarks such as SWE-Bench. Although there has been significant progress on this topic, we notice that in the process of solving such issues, existing agentic systems tend to hyper-localize on immediately suspicious lines of code and fix them in isolation, without a …
