As the capabilities of code large language models (LLMs) continue to expand, their applications across diverse code intelligence domains are rapidly increasing. However, most existing datasets only evaluate limited application domains. To…

We present an automated framework for solidifying the cohesion between software specifications, their dependently typed models, and implementation at compile time. Model Checking and type checking are currently separate techniques for…
