ENLIST: preregistered replication package for small-language-model deployment decisions

Replication package for "Selection information is not free: a preregistered study of small-language-modeldeployment decisions" (submitted to Information and Software Technology). The study asks whether charging deployment-selection policies for the information they buy changes which policylooks best. In ten environment...

Intention Coding: From Vibe Coding to the Executable Realization of Persistent Human Intent

Vibe coding has made a profound change in software creation visible: humans can increasingly express what they want in natural language while artificial intelligence systems generate, modify, test, and repair the code that realizes that intention. This paper argues that the deeper transition is not simply from manual c...

Malva

Malva Malva is an artifact for studying tool-mediated interaction failures in agentic GUI software. It contains a defect library built from 40 open-source applications, a task suite for reproducing representative failures, and MalvaGuard, a static checker that detects missing tool-interaction guards before agent execut...

Learning Nonlinear Finite Element Solution Operators Using Multilayer Perceptrons and Energy Minimization

Abstract. We develop and evaluate a method for learning solution operators to nonlinear problems governed by partial differential equations (PDEs). The approach is based on a finite element discretization and aims at representing the solution operator by a multilayer perceptron that takes problem data variables as inpu...

MergeRepair: An Exploratory Study on Merging Task-Specific Adapters in Code LLMs for Automated Program Repair

Abstract Large Language Models (LLMs) have shown high capabilities in several software development-related tasks such as program repair, documentation, code refactoring, debugging, and testing. However, training these models requires massive amount of data and significant computational resources. Adapters are specializ...

Verified Small-Model Document Extraction for the Financial Close

We describe the document-reading model behind Money Maxer, an agent finance team that closes a simulated month for a mid-market software company. The system's premise is that no agent is trusted: every journal entry is re-performed by a small deterministic kernel before it can post. Inside that design we ask how small,...
