Abstract: Spectrum-Based Fault Localization (SBFL) is a technique to be used during debugging, the premise of which is that, based on the test case outcomes and code coverage, faulty code elements can be automatically detected. SBFL is popular among researchers because it is lightweight and easy to implement, and there is a lot of potential in it when it comes to research that aims to improve its effectiveness. Despite this, the technique cannot be found in contemporary development and debugging tools, only a handful of research prototypes are available. Reasons for this can be multiple, including the algortihms' sub-optimal effectiveness and other technical weaknesses. But, also the lack of clear functional and non-functional requirements for such a tool, either standalone or integrated into IDEs. In this paper, we attempt to provide such a list in form of recommendations, based on surveying the most popular SBFL tools and on our own researchers' and tool builders' experience.

Learning to Ask: When LLMs Meet Unclear Instruction [49.256630152684764]
Large language models (LLMs) can leverage external tools for addressing a range of tasks unattainable through language skills alone. We evaluate the performance of LLMs tool-use under imperfect instructions, analyze the error patterns, and build a challenging tool-use benchmark called Noisy ToolBench. We propose a novel framework, Ask-when-Needed (AwN), which prompts LLMs to ask questions to users whenever they encounter obstacles due to unclear instructions.

What Are Tools Anyway? A Survey from the Language Model Perspective [67.18843218893416]
Language models (LMs) are powerful yet mostly for text generation tasks. We provide a unified definition of tools as external programs used by LMs. We empirically study the efficiency of various tooling methods.

Planning, Creation, Usage: Benchmarking LLMs for Comprehensive Tool Utilization in Real-World Complex Scenarios [93.68764280953624]
UltraTool is a novel benchmark designed to improve and evaluate Large Language Models' ability in tool utilization. It emphasizes real-world complexities, demanding accurate, multi-step planning for effective problem-solving. A key feature of UltraTool is its independent evaluation of planning with natural language, which happens before tool usage.

Large Language Models as Tool Makers [85.00361145117293]
We introduce a closed-loop framework, referred to as LLMs A s Tool Makers (LATM), where LLMs create their own reusable tools for problem-solving. Our approach consists of two phases: 1) tool making: an LLM acts as the tool maker that crafts tools for a set of tasks. 2) tool using: another LLM acts as the tool user, which applies the tool built by the tool maker for problem-solving.

CREATOR: Tool Creation for Disentangling Abstract and Concrete Reasoning of Large Language Models [74.22729793816451]
Large Language Models (LLMs) have made significant progress in utilizing tools, but their ability is limited by API availability. We propose CREATOR, a novel framework that enables LLMs to create their own tools using documentation and code realization. We evaluate CREATOR on MATH and TabMWP benchmarks, respectively consisting of challenging math competition problems.

Productive Reproducible Workflows for DNNs: A Case Study for Industrial Defect Detection [0.0]
This paper presents a case study where we discuss our recent experience producing an end-to-end artificial intelligence application for industrial defect detection. We detail the high level deep learning libraries, containerized, continuous integration/deployment pipelines, and open source code templates we leveraged to produce a competitive result. We highlight the value that exploiting such systems can bring, even for research, and present our best results in terms of accuracy and inference time.
