ReCode: Updating Code API Knowledge with Reinforcement Learning

arXiv — cs.LGWednesday, November 12, 2025 at 5:00:00 AM
ReCode represents a significant advancement in the field of artificial intelligence, particularly in enhancing the capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs) for code generation. Traditional LLMs struggle to keep pace with frequent updates in external library APIs, which can hinder their effectiveness in dynamic programming environments. The introduction of ReCode, a framework that employs reinforcement learning, aims to mimic human adaptability to these changes. By training on a dataset of around 2,000 entries, ReCode has demonstrated a substantial improvement in LLMs' performance, especially in tasks like CodeUpdateArena that require real-time adaptation to API changes. This is particularly noteworthy as it allows LLMs to maintain their general code generation abilities while improving their responsiveness to updates, a balance that is often difficult to achieve with supervised fine-tuning methods. The success of ReCode not only enhances the practical applications of LLMs in softwa…

Thinker: Training LLMs in Hierarchical Thinking for Deep Search via Multi-Turn Interaction
PositiveArtificial Intelligence
The article presents Thinker, a hierarchical thinking model designed to enhance the reasoning capabilities of large language models (LLMs) through multi-turn interactions. Unlike previous methods that relied on end-to-end reinforcement learning without supervision, Thinker allows for a more structured reasoning process by breaking down complex problems into manageable sub-problems. Each sub-problem is represented in both natural language and logical functions, improving the coherence and rigor of the reasoning process.
From Fact to Judgment: Investigating the Impact of Task Framing on LLM Conviction in Dialogue Systems
NeutralArtificial Intelligence
The article investigates the impact of task framing on the conviction of large language models (LLMs) in dialogue systems. It explores how LLMs assess tasks requiring social judgment, contrasting their performance on factual queries with conversational judgment tasks. The study reveals that reframing a task can significantly alter an LLM's judgment, particularly under conversational pressure, highlighting the complexities of LLM decision-making in social contexts.
Expert-Guided Prompting and Retrieval-Augmented Generation for Emergency Medical Service Question Answering
PositiveArtificial Intelligence
Large language models (LLMs) have shown potential in medical question answering but often lack the domain-specific expertise required in emergency medical services (EMS). The study introduces EMSQA, a dataset with 24.3K questions across 10 clinical areas and 4 certification levels, along with knowledge bases containing 40K documents and 2M tokens. It also presents Expert-CoT and ExpertRAG, strategies that enhance performance by integrating clinical context, resulting in improved accuracy and exam pass rates for EMS certification.
Can LLMs Detect Their Own Hallucinations?
PositiveArtificial Intelligence
Large language models (LLMs) are capable of generating fluent responses but can sometimes produce inaccurate information, referred to as hallucinations. A recent study investigates whether these models can recognize their own inaccuracies. The research formulates hallucination detection as a classification task and introduces a framework utilizing Chain-of-Thought (CoT) to extract knowledge from LLM parameters. Experimental results show that GPT-3.5 Turbo with CoT detected 58.2% of its own hallucinations, suggesting that LLMs can identify inaccuracies if they possess sufficient knowledge.

ICL-Router: In-Context Learned Model Representations for LLM Routing
PositiveArtificial Intelligence
The research paper titled 'ICL-Router: In-Context Learned Model Representations for LLM Routing' presents a novel routing method for large language models (LLMs) that utilizes in-context vectors to enhance model representation. This two-stage method first embeds queries into vectors and then profiles candidate models based on their performance. The approach aims to improve routing performance and allows for the integration of new models without the need for retraining, addressing scalability challenges in LLM applications.
Advantage Shaping as Surrogate Reward Maximization: Unifying Pass@K Policy Gradients
PositiveArtificial Intelligence
The article discusses the reconciliation of two distinct approaches to policy gradient optimization for the Pass@K objective in reinforcement learning, specifically direct REINFORCE-style methods and advantage-shaping techniques that modify GRPO. It reveals that these methods are two sides of the same coin and interprets hard-example up-weighting modifications as reward-level regularization. Additionally, it provides a recipe for deriving both existing and new advantage-shaping methods, offering insights into RLVR policy gradient optimization beyond the initial focus on Pass@K.
