CoRoVA: Compressed Representations for Vector-Augmented Code Completion

Retrieval-augmented generation has emerged as one of the most effective approaches for code completion enhancement, especially when repository-level context is important. However, adding this extra retrieved context significantly increases sequence length, raises prefill cost, and degrades time-to-first-token (TTFT), which slows down inference -- a critical limitation for interactive settings such as IDEs. In this work, we introduce CoRoVA, a framework that compresses context into compact, semantically rich representations that remain interpretable to code LLMs. This improves generation quality while reducing prompt augmentation to only a few compressed single-token vectors. Our approach requires training only a small projector module and introduces negligible additional latency, yet it significantly improves the prediction quality of code LLMs. Our experiments show that CoRoVA enables a 20-38\% reduction in TTFT on completion tasks compared to uncompressed RAG.

The Chronicles of RiDiC: Generating Datasets with Controlled Popularity Distribution for Long-form Factuality Evaluation

We present a configurable pipeline for generating multilingual sets of entities with specified characteristics, such as domain, geographical location and popularity, using data from Wikipedia and Wikidata. These datasets are intended for evaluating the factuality of LLMs' long-form generation, thereby complementing evaluation based on short-form QA datasets. We present the RiDiC dataset as an example of this approach. RiDiC contains 3,000 entities from three domains -- rivers, natural disasters, and car models -- spanning different popularity tiers. Each entity is accompanied by its geographical location, English and Chinese names (if available) and relevant English and Chinese Wikipedia content, which is used to evaluate LLMs' responses. Generations about RiDiC entities were obtained from three LLMs in English and Chinese. These were then evaluated using a third-party factuality checker, which showed that entities from our dataset caused even frontier models to hallucinate. To facilitate the evaluation of LLMs' long-form factuality in multiple languages, the code, data, and generation/evaluation scripts have been released.

SynthDetoxM: Modern LLMs are Few-Shot Parallel Detoxification Data Annotators

Existing approaches to multilingual text detoxification are hampered by the scarcity of parallel multilingual datasets. In this work, we introduce a pipeline for the generation of multilingual parallel detoxification data. We also introduce SynthDetoxM, a manually collected and synthetically generated multilingual parallel text detoxification dataset comprising 16,000 high-quality detoxification sentence pairs across German, French, Spanish and Russian. The data was sourced from different toxicity evaluation datasets and then rewritten with nine modern open-source LLMs in few-shot setting. Our experiments demonstrate that models trained on the produced synthetic datasets have superior performance to those trained on the human-annotated MultiParaDetox dataset even in data limited setting. Models trained on SynthDetoxM outperform all evaluated LLMs in few-shot setting. We release our dataset and code to help further research in multilingual text detoxification.
