T-REX: Teaching Large Language Models to Reason with Verbalized Execution Semantics

Large language models (LLMs) have shown strong performance in static code tasks like code search, summarization, and generation, but remain limited in dynamic code reasoning, which involves inferring how programs behave during execution without actually running them. This limitation stems from LLMs being trained on sta...

Post-Hoc Attention Steering of Large Language Models for Robust Code Understanding under Obfuscation

This work proposes CodeSteer, a novel attention steering approach that reallocates model attention toward semantically relevant program elements, including backward slices for output prediction and control-flow paths for execution reasoning in large language models.

On Behavioral Alignment of Model-Code and Human-Code Understandability via Behavioral Proxies

It is demonstrated that semantic self-consistency is a reliable and extensible measure to be used as a behavioral proxy for quantifying model code understandability, with broad implications in both software engineering research and practice.
