Confidence-Gated Transductive Test Generation for Code Reranking

תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:2609.12489v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Test case synthesis is crucial for evaluating and ranking programs generated by large language models (LLMs). However, constructing high-quality test cases remains challenging because reliable expected outputs are often difficult to obtain. We propose Confidence-Gated Transductive Test Generation (CoTT), which first uses an efficient inductive procedure and invokes transductive generation only when inductive confidence is low. This adaptive design improves output reliability while allocating extra computation only when needed. On code reranking benchmarks, CoTT outperforms prior baselines across the reported metrics while reducing cost relative to applying transductive generation to every input. These results show that confidence-based allo
