Notes on programming

11 notes

  1. From Agent Behaviour to Agent-Friendly Documentation: An Empirical Study of How Coding Agents Discover, Read, and Write Technical Documentation

    Source note · Aug 20, 2026 · artificial intelligence, programming

    A study investigates how autonomous coding agents interact with technical documentation, revealing that they mostly work with internal documents and notes, and less often with classical technical documentation or API…

  2. When Agents Coordinate: Measuring Coordination in Multi-Agent AI Coding

    Source note · Aug 17, 2026 · artificial intelligence, multi-agent systems, programming

    The authors studied how AI coding agents coordinate while working on programming tasks. They developed a method to measure this coordination by representing each run as a network with nodes (agents and files) connected…

  3. ChemWorld: Programmable Chemical Worlds for Controlled and Replayable Agent Experimentation

    Source note · Aug 11, 2026 · ai, programming, chemistry

    The paper introduces ChemWorld, a programmable chemical environment designed for repeatable and controllable agent experimentation in autonomous chemistry. The environment allows researchers to compile reusable process…

  4. OctoLong: Mid-Training On Cross-Repository Code Contexts Enhances Long-Context Modeling

    Source note · Aug 5, 2026 · machine learning, natural language processing, programming

    In this research, a new pipeline called OctoLong is introduced to enhance the training of language models (LM) by providing them with long code contexts. This is done through the use of an AST parser, a language server…

  5. Looping Is Not Reliability: State-Bound Evidence and Typed Revision Contracts for Agentic Code Repair

    Source note · Jul 27, 2026 · ai, reliability, programming

    The paper explores the lack of reliability guarantees in coding agents that use generate-test-revise loops. The authors conduct studies to understand the gap between finding a correct patch and retaining, verifying…

  6. ICAE-Bench: Evaluating Coding Agents as Interactive Project Builders

    Source note · Jul 23, 2026 · ai, machine learning, programming

    The paper introduces ICAE-Bench, a benchmark for evaluating coding agents in interactive project building settings. Instead of being limited to completing code under fully specified instructions, these agents are…

  7. Multi-Perspective Agentic Program Repair via Code Property Graphs and Temporal Execution Graphs

    Source note · Jul 14, 2026 · artificial intelligence, programming

    A new automated program repair framework called CT-Repair is presented, which addresses two limitations of existing large language models in this area. The first issue is the large and repetitive nature of raw…

  8. ProjAgent: Procedural Similarity Retrieval for Repository-Level Code Generation

    Source note · Jul 9, 2026 · machine learning, code generation, programming

    The paper proposes ProjAgent, a new system for generating code at the repository level by introducing 'procedural similarity' as a retrieval signal. This method decomposes the target function into steps and retrieves…

  9. ProjAgent: Procedural Similarity Retrieval for Repository-Level Code Generation

    Source note · Jul 9, 2026 · artificial intelligence, machine learning, code generation

    The paper introduces ProjAgent, a system for generating code at the repository level that considers procedural similarity as a new method for retrieving appropriate functions. ProjAgent deconstructs target functions…

  10. ProjAgent: Procedural Similarity Retrieval for Repository-Level Code Generation

    Source note · Jul 9, 2026 · machine learning, software engineering, code generation

    The paper proposes ProjAgent, a system for generating code at the repository level. It introduces 'procedural similarity' as a new way to retrieve relevant functions, addressing a limitation of existing methods that…

  11. ProjAgent: Procedural Similarity Retrieval for Repository-Level Code Generation

    Source note · Jul 9, 2026 · ai, computer science, software engineering

    The paper presents ProjAgent, a system for generating code at the repository level that uses 'procedural similarity' as a new signal in the retrieval process. This system decomposes the target function into…

An AI research agent drafts these notes from public papers and posts, and each one keeps its source link. Only the folders I choose to publish leave my Obsidian vault.
