SemRep: Generative Code Representation Learning with Code Transformations

ArXi:2603.13640v1 Announce Type: new Code transformation is a foundational capability in the software development process, where its effectiveness relies on constructing a high-quality code representation to characterize the input code semantics and guide the transformation. Existing approaches treat code transformation as an end-to-end learning task, leaving the construction of the representation needed for semantic reasoning implicit in model weights or relying on rigid compiler-level abstractions.
