1. SWE-Search: Enhancing Software Agents with Monte Carlo Tree Search and Iterative Refinement (2024 · 22 citations)
   Most LLM-based coding agents move through a task in a single forward pass. They cannot easily abandon a poor line of attack and try a different one. SWE-Search tackles this for repository-level bug fixing by combining Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) with LLM self-evaluation. It builds on the moatless-tools framework…
2. ALGO: Synthesizing Algorithmic Programs with LLM-Generated Oracle Verifiers (2023 · 19 citations)
   LLMs handle code generation well when a task spells out exactly what to implement. They do much worse on competitive-programming problems, where the model must first choose an efficient algorithm, and their output still needs human checking. ALGO tackles both issues. It builds on an observation: writing a slow…
