    {
      "direction_id": "G0",
      "name": "Evaluation of code-generation capability and outputs",
      "scope": "Establish reusable tasks and execution-based evaluation conditions; empirically study code generators’ correctness, limitations, and sensitivity to changes in requests; and study how to assess the quality of an individual generated program and the validity of that assessment. These three types of contributions need not occur together."
    },
    {
      "direction_id": "G1",
      "name": "Learning code-generation capability",
      "scope": "Train and improve code-generation models by constructing code corpora or task supervision, or by using feedback on generated results, encompassing the development of foundational models, downstream training examples, and parameter updates across solutions."
    },
    {
      "direction_id": "G2",
      "name": "Context-grounded code generation",
      "scope": "Obtain and incorporate task-relevant information beyond a standalone request to generate programs suited to their code environment. Such context may come from repository dependencies, documentation, examples, or notebook state."
    },
    {
      "direction_id": "G3",
      "name": "Inference-time improvement of generated solutions",
      "scope": "Use evaluation information during generation to improve the correctness of the final delivered program: feedback may guide continued generation or revision of an individual solution, or multiple completed candidates may be evaluated and selected among."
    },
    {
      "direction_id": "G4",
      "name": "Structured synthesis of programs",
      "scope": "Organize the synthesis of complex programs through explicit intermediate structures or constrained candidate spaces, including plans, sketches, and the composition of subproblems, as well as specification-driven type constraints, tree search, or evolutionary exploration."
    },
    {
      "direction_id": "G5",
      "name": "Transformation of existing code",
      "scope": "Treat supplied source code as the object to be changed and generate code according to a requested modification or target form, including edits, refactorings, equivalent variants, and cross-language translations."
