New SemNav framework improves code issue localization with LLM agents

Researchers have developed SemNav, a novel framework designed to enhance issue localization in code repositories. This system combines deterministic retrieval with an LLM agent to iteratively identify and rank relevant files and functions for issue resolution. SemNav introduces three key components: a Semantic Navigation Graph for program relation navigation, Semantic Cards for concise entity interpretations, and a Candidate Workspace for tracking evidence and revision. The framework demonstrates significant improvements over existing baselines on benchmarks like SWE-bench Lite and PLocBench, notably increasing File Hit@10 from 68.33% to 82.67% when using Gemma 4B.

    Semantic Navigation for Issue Localization in Code Repository

    arXiv:2609.31176v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Repository-level issue localization aims to identify and rank the files and functions relevant to resolving a reported issue. LLM agents approach this task iteratively: they identify a set of potentially relevant locations, inspect …
