Large language models (LLMs) have revolutionized code generation, significantly enhancing developer productivity. However, for a vast number of users with minimal coding knowledge, LLMs provide little support, as they primarily generate isolated code snippets rather than complete, large-scale project code. Without coding expertise, these users struggle to interpret, modify, and iteratively refine the outputs of LLMs, making it impossible to assemble a complete project. To address this issue, we propose Self-Rectified Large-Scale Code Generator (SRLCG), a framework that generates complete multi-file project code from a single prompt. SRLCG employs a novel multidimensional chain-of-thought (CoT) and self-rectification to guide LLMs in generating correct and robust code files, then integrates them into a complete and coherent project using our proposed dynamic backtracking algorithm. Experimental results show that SRLCG generates code 15x longer than DeepSeek-V3, 16x longer than GPT-4, and at least 10x longer than other leading CoT-based baselines. Furthermore, they confirm its improved correctness, robustness, and performance compared to baselines in large-scale code generation.

Abstaining classifiers have been widely used in cost-sensitive applications to avoid ambiguous classification and reduce the cost of misclassification. Previous abstaining classification models rely on cost information, such as a cost matrix or cost ratio. However, it is difficult to obtain or estimate costs in practical applications. Furthermore, these abstention models are typically restricted to a single optimization metric, which may not be the expected indicator when evaluating classification performance. To overcome such problems, a multi-objective bounded-abstention (MOBA) model is proposed to optimize essential metrics. Specifically, the MOBA model minimizes the error rate of each class under class-dependent abstention constraints. The MOBA model is then solved using the non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm II, which is a popular evolutionary multi-objective optimization algorithm. A set of Pareto-optimal solutions will be generated and the best one can be selected according to provided conditions (whether costs are known) or performance demands (e.g., obtaining a high accuracy, F-measure, and etc). Hence, the MOBA model is robust towards variations in the conditions and requirements. Compared to state-of-the-art abstention models, MOBA achieves lower expected costs when cost information is considered, and better performance-abstention trade-offs when it is not.
