W-RAG: Source-Aware Retrieval for Enterprise Document Generation from Heterogeneous Knowledge Bases

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) enables large language models to incorporate external knowledge during generation, improving factual grounding and domain adaptability. However, existing RAG pipelines assume that evidence retrieved from multiple repositories can be ranked globally using a single similarity function. While suitable for open-domain retrieval, this assumption breaks down in enterprise document generation, where heterogeneous knowledge bases (such as policies, regulations, technical documentation, and departmental guidelines) serve distinct roles and must be jointly represented in the generated document. As a result, global ranking often produces unbalanced context dominated by a subset of sources, leading to incomplete enterprise drafts. To address this limitation, we propose W-RAG, a source-aware retrieval framework that performs ontology-guided retrieval, local ranking within each knowledge base, and source-level weighting to regulate evidence composition. We further introduce a new dataset for retrieval-grounded enterprise document generation spanning multiple document types and industry domains. Experiments show that standard RAG pipelines struggle on this task, while W-RAG significantly improves document coverage and generation quality.

AdaptAgent: A Multi-agent, Domain-Guided Reasoning Framework for Code Adaptation

Developers often need to adapt into their projects the code generated from LLMs or code snippets from online forums. However, integrating them into an existing repository remains challenging in a manual process. A successful integration typically requires more than copying code as a user must produce correct adapting changes at a designated location in the target repository. We formalize this as the code adaptation problem: given a snippet, functional intent, a target repository, and an adaptation location, generate a patch that adapts the snippet into the repository. We present AdaptAgent, a multi-agent, domain-guided reasoning framework for code adaptation. Rather than relying on single-shot prompting, AdaptAgent decomposes adaptation into specialized agents that communicate via typed artifacts: an Intent Summarizer extracts adaptation goals from Q&A text; a Policy Agent derives domain policies from six adaptation categories; a Domain Planner generates a self-ordered plan; a Context Miner distills sibling-method semantics from the target codebase; and a Code Adapter realizes the plan as a minimal unified diff, iteratively refined using a compiler-based Verifier. This division of labor enables robust, policy-aligned adaptations and supports adapting code snippets into a project. On a real-world dataset, AdaptAgent outperforms strong baselines in semantic correctness and produces patches that mirror developers' actual adaptation patterns. Our ablation study shows each agent's necessity, especially planning for code-hardening and exception-handling, and intent for logic customization.

Cerberus: Multi-Agent Reasoning and Coverage-Guided Exploration for Static Detection of Runtime Errors

In several software development scenarios, it is desirable to detect runtime errors and exceptions in code snippets without actual execution. A typical example is to detect runtime exceptions in online code snippets before integrating them into a codebase. In this paper, we propose Cerberus, a novel predictive, execution-free coverage-guided testing framework. Cerberus uses LLMs to generate the inputs that trigger runtime errors and to perform code coverage prediction and error detection without code execution. With a two-phase feedback loop, Cerberus first aims to both increasing code coverage and detecting runtime errors, then shifts to focus only detecting runtime errors when the coverage reaches 100% or its maximum, enabling it to perform better than prompting the LLMs for both purposes. Our empirical evaluation demonstrates that Cerberus performs better than conventional and learning-based testing frameworks for (in)complete code snippets by generating high-coverage test cases more efficiently, leading to the discovery of more runtime errors.

Fuzzwise: Intelligent Initial Corpus Generation for Fuzzing

In mutation-based greybox fuzzing, generating high-quality input seeds for the initial corpus is essential for effective fuzzing. Rather than conducting separate phases for generating a large corpus and subsequently minimizing it, we propose FuzzWise which integrates them into one process to generate the optimal initial corpus of seeds (ICS). FuzzWise leverages a multi-agent framework based on Large Language Models (LLMs). The first LLM agent generates test cases for the target program. The second LLM agent, which functions as a predictive code coverage module, assesses whether each generated test case will enhance the overall coverage of the current corpus. The streamlined process allows each newly generated test seed to be immediately evaluated for its contribution to the overall coverage. FuzzWise employs a predictive approach using an LLM and eliminates the need for actual execution, saving computational resources and time, particularly in scenarios where the execution is not desirable or even impossible. Our empirical evaluation demonstrates that FuzzWise generates significantly fewer test cases than baseline methods. Despite the lower number of test cases, FuzzWise achieves high code coverage and triggers more runtime errors compared to the baselines. Moreover, it is more time-efficient and coverage-efficient in producing an initial corpus catching more errors.
