SkillForge: Compositional Skill Synthesis with Verification-in-the-Loop for Generating Formally Verified Dafny Programs

Generating formally verified programs from natural language remains challenging: existing approaches either produce code in a single pass without recourse when verification fails, or rely on open-ended agentic reasoning that is non-deterministic and opaque. We introduce SKILLFORGE, a framework that decomposes formal code synthesis into a library of atomic, reusable skills, each targeting a specific subtask such as specification inference, body synthesis, invariant generation, error diagnosis, or targeted repair, and defined by a prompt template, tool binding, and decidable success criterion. A verification-driven harness orchestrates these skills: it submits candidates to the Dafny verifier, diagnoses failures into structured categories, deterministically routes to the appropriate repair skill, and iterates until formal correctness is proved or a budget is exhausted. On a curated benchmark of natural language to Dafny specification pairs, SKILLFORGE substantially outperforms both state-of-the-art agentic approaches (including ReAct-style agents, MCTS-based repair, and RL-guided verification) and traditional iterative baselines, while requiring fewer tokens and lower latency. Ablation studies confirm that every skill contributes measurably, and the harness converges rapidly with the majority of programs verified on the first attempt.

CARA: Concept-Aware Risk Attention for Interpretable Collision Anticipation

Collision anticipation in autonomous driving requires not only accurate early warnings but also interpretable reasoning about what risk factors are being tracked and how risk evolves over time. Existing methods fall short in this regard: feature-driven models are opaque, post-hoc explanations often lack fidelity, and concept-based methods are mostly designed for static recognition rather than dynamic driving scenes. We propose CARA (Concept-Aware Risk Attention), an intrinsically interpretable spatio-temporal framework for collision anticipation. CARA derives domain-grounded risk concepts from accident narratives, aligns them with video frames via vision-language similarity, and organizes them into evolving concept trajectories. These trajectories provide explicit risk evidence that guides spatial attention, temporal attention, and anticipation, allowing semantic concepts to directly influence both where the model attends and how it predicts risk over time. By treating semantic risk factors as dynamic intermediate evidence rather than auxiliary post-hoc explanations, CARA tightly couples interpretability with the predictive process. Extensive experiments on three benchmarks show that CARA consistently improves anticipation accuracy and warning earliness over strong baselines, while providing sparse and semantically grounded concept evidence.
