Enhancing the Code Reasoning Capabilities of LLMs via Consistency-based Reinforcement Learning

Code reasoning refers to the task of predicting the output of a program given its source code and specific inputs. It can measure the reasoning capability of large language models (LLMs) and also benefit downstream tasks such as code generation and mathematical reasoning. Existing work has verified the effectiveness of reinforcement learning on the task. However, these methods design rewards solely based on final outputs or coarse-grained signals, and neglect the inherent consistency of the stepwise reasoning process in the task. Therefore, these methods often result in sparse reward or reward hacking, which limits the full play of enhanced learning capabilities. To alleviate these issues, we propose CodeThinker, a consistency-driven reinforcement learning framework for code reasoning. Specifically, CodeThinker has three key components: (1) a stepwise reasoning-aware model training module, which utilizes a consistency tracing paradigm as a template to synthesize training data that captures the stepwise reasoning process; (2) a dynamic beam sampling strategy, which aims to improve the quality of sampled outputs under a fixed sampling budget; and (3) a consistency reward mechanism that can effectively alleviate reward hacking. Experiments on three popular benchmarks show that CodeThinker achieves state-of-the-art performance across multiple LLMs. For instance, it outperforms the strongest baseline by 4.3% in accuracy when deployed on Qwen2.5-Coder-7B-Instruct. We also validate the effectiveness of CodeThinker on downstream tasks. Results show that, without additional training, CodeThinker obtains average accuracy gains of 5.33 and 3.11 percentage points on mathematical reasoning and code reasoning tasks covering 17 programming languages, respectively.

TimeGNN-Augmented Hybrid-Action MARL for Fine-Grained Task Partitioning and Energy-Aware Offloading in MEC

With the rapid growth of IoT devices and latency-sensitive applications, the demand for both real-time and energy-efficient computing has surged, placing significant pressure on traditional cloud computing architectures. Mobile edge computing (MEC), an emerging paradigm, effectively alleviates the load on cloud centers and improves service quality by offloading computing tasks to edge servers closer to end users. However, the limited computing resources, non-continuous power provisioning (e.g., battery-powered nodes), and highly dynamic systems of edge servers complicate efficient task scheduling and resource allocation. To address these challenges, this paper proposes a multi-agent deep reinforcement learning algorithm, TG-DCMADDPG, and constructs a collaborative computing framework for multiple edge servers, aiming to achieve joint optimization of fine-grained task partitioning and offloading. This approach incorporates a temporal graph neural network (TimeGNN) to model and predict time series of multi-dimensional server state information, thereby reducing the frequency of online interactions and improving policy predictability. Furthermore, a multi-agent deterministic policy gradient algorithm (DC-MADDPG) in a discrete-continuous hybrid action space is introduced to collaboratively optimize task partitioning ratios, transmission power, and priority scheduling strategies. Extensive simulation experiments confirm that TG-DCMADDPG achieves markedly faster policy convergence, superior energy-latency optimization, and higher task completion rates compared with existing state-of-the-art methods, underscoring its robust scalability and practical effectiveness in dynamic and constrained MEC scenarios.

Less is More? An Empirical Study on Configuration Issues in Python PyPI Ecosystem

Python is widely used in the open-source community, largely owing to the extensive support from diverse third-party libraries within the PyPI ecosystem. Nevertheless, the utilization of third-party libraries can potentially lead to conflicts in dependencies, prompting researchers to develop dependency conflict detectors. Moreover, endeavors have been made to automatically infer dependencies. These approaches focus on version-level checks and inference, based on the assumption that configurations of libraries in the PyPI ecosystem are correct. However, our study reveals that this assumption is not universally valid, and relying solely on version-level checks proves inadequate in ensuring compatible run-time environments. In this paper, we conduct an empirical study to comprehensively study the configuration issues in the PyPI ecosystem. Specifically, we propose PyConf, a source-level detector, for detecting potential configuration issues. PyConf employs three distinct checks, targeting the setup, packing, and usage stages of libraries, respectively. To evaluate the effectiveness of the current automatic dependency inference approaches, we build a benchmark called VLibs, comprising library releases that pass all three checks of PyConf. We identify 15 kinds of configuration issues and find that 183,864 library releases suffer from potential configuration issues. Remarkably, 68% of these issues can only be detected via the source-level check. Our experiment results show that the most advanced automatic dependency inference approach, PyEGo, can successfully infer dependencies for only 65% of library releases. The primary failures stem from dependency conflicts and the absence of required libraries in the generated configurations. Based on the empirical results, we derive six findings and draw two implications for open-source developers and future research in automatic dependency inference.

API Usage Recommendation via Multi-View Heterogeneous Graph Representation Learning

Developers often need to decide which APIs to use for the functions being implemented. With the ever-growing number of APIs and libraries, it becomes increasingly difficult for developers to find appropriate APIs, indicating the necessity of automatic API usage recommendation. Previous studies adopt statistical models or collaborative filtering methods to mine the implicit API usage patterns for recommendation. However, they rely on the occurrence frequencies of APIs for mining usage patterns, thus prone to fail for the low-frequency APIs. Besides, prior studies generally regard the API call interaction graph as homogeneous graph, ignoring the rich information (e.g., edge types) in the structure graph. In this work, we propose a novel method named MEGA for improving the recommendation accuracy especially for the low-frequency APIs. Specifically, besides call interaction graph, MEGA considers another two new heterogeneous graphs: global API co-occurrence graph enriched with the API frequency information and hierarchical structure graph enriched with the project component information. With the three multi-view heterogeneous graphs, MEGA can capture the API usage patterns more accurately. Experiments on three Java benchmark datasets demonstrate that MEGA significantly outperforms the baseline models by at least 19% with respect to the Success Rate@1 metric. Especially, for the low-frequency APIs, MEGA also increases the baselines by at least 55% regarding the Success Rate@1.

Source Code Summarization with Structural Relative Position Guided Transformer

Source code summarization aims at generating concise and clear natural language descriptions for programming languages. Well-written code summaries are beneficial for programmers to participate in the software development and maintenance process. To learn the semantic representations of source code, recent efforts focus on incorporating the syntax structure of code into neural networks such as Transformer. Such Transformer-based approaches can better capture the long-range dependencies than other neural networks including Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs), however, most of them do not consider the structural relative correlations between tokens, e.g., relative positions in Abstract Syntax Trees (ASTs), which is beneficial for code semantics learning. To model the structural dependency, we propose a Structural Relative Position guided Transformer, named SCRIPT. SCRIPT first obtains the structural relative positions between tokens via parsing the ASTs of source code, and then passes them into two types of Transformer encoders. One Transformer directly adjusts the input according to the structural relative distance; and the other Transformer encodes the structural relative positions during computing the self-attention scores. Finally, we stack these two types of Transformer encoders to learn representations of source code. Experimental results show that the proposed SCRIPT outperforms the state-of-the-art methods by at least 1.6%, 1.4% and 2.8% with respect to BLEU, ROUGE-L and METEOR on benchmark datasets, respectively. We further show that how the proposed SCRIPT captures the structural relative dependencies.

Static Inference Meets Deep Learning: A Hybrid Type Inference Approach for Python

Type inference for dynamic programming languages such as Python is an important yet challenging task. Static type inference techniques can precisely infer variables with enough static constraints but are unable to handle variables with dynamic features. Deep learning (DL) based approaches are feature-agnostic, but they cannot guarantee the correctness of the predicted types. Their performance significantly depends on the quality of the training data (i.e., DL models perform poorly on some common types that rarely appear in the training dataset). It is interesting to note that the static and DL-based approaches offer complementary benefits. Unfortunately, to our knowledge, precise type inference based on both static inference and neural predictions has not been exploited and remains an open challenge. In particular, it is hard to integrate DL models into the framework of rule-based static approaches. This paper fills the gap and proposes a hybrid type inference approach named HiTyper based on both static inference and deep learning. Specifically, our key insight is to record type dependencies among variables in each function and encode the dependency information in type dependency graphs (TDGs). Based on TDGs, we can easily integrate type inference rules in the nodes to conduct static inference and type rejection rules to inspect the correctness of neural predictions. HiTyper iteratively conducts static inference and DL-based prediction until the TDG is fully inferred. Experiments on two benchmark datasets show that HiTyper outperforms state-of-the-art DL models by exactly matching 10% more human annotations. HiTyper also achieves an increase of more than 30% on inferring rare types. Considering only the static part of HiTyper, it infers 2x ~ 3x more types than existing static type inference tools.
