Two new research papers address the critical issue of data contamination in large language models, particularly for code generation and backtesting scenarios. The first paper introduces TRACER, a framework designed to detect semantic similarities in code that indicate contamination, achieving high accuracy even with models like GPT-5. The second paper proposes Shapley-DCLR and TimeSPEC, methods to measure and mitigate temporal contamination in LLM backtesting by focusing on decision-driving claims and ensuring predictions are based solely on pre-cutoff knowledge.
