Codec or generator failure?
Separate reconstruction loss from latent-generation loss before spending compute on the wrong stage.

Research that stays inspectable.
I study how representations, compression, and controllability shape the quality of generated text and code.
Research directions
Localized and predictable code editing
Prevent full-function rewrites by comparing selective regeneration, constrained generation, and AI-assisted refactoring under an explicit preservation contract.

- How should code-space and token-space masked diffusion language modeling be compared?
- How can a generative model modify code without rewriting the entire function?
- What does constrained code generation guarantee in a software-engineering workflow?
- Which methods and evidence matter for AI-assisted behavior-preserving refactoring?
- What makes code generation predictable rather than merely controllable?
