Beyond Syntax: Testing LLM Semantic Understanding of Code
Aminata Sabané, Tegawendé F. Bissyandé
While Large Language Models (LLMs) have shown promise in various software engineering tasks, their deep understanding of code semantics remains a challenging area. This paper introduces a novel methodology to probe the semantic understanding of LLMs by subjecting them to a rigorous test: identifying trivial equivalent mutations in C code gener(...)
