An Empirical Study of Speculative Decoding on Software Engineering Tasks

Large Language Models (LLMs) have become widely used for Software Engineering (SE) tasks, spanning from function-level code generation to complex repository-level workflows. However, the high latency of autoregressive inference remains a significant bottleneck, hindering their de...

Answer Is Cheap, Show Me the Evidence! Augmenting Automated Vulnerability Assessment with Evidence

Software Vulnerability (SV) assessment is a vital phase in SV management, which characterizes discovered SVs to locate hot spots and prioritize their remediation. To reduce the overhead and latency of manual assessment, prior works have explored automatically predicting assessmen...
