Data contamination is a known threat to the reliability of model evaluation. However, it remains underexplored in code large language models (LLMs), where contamination often goes beyond exact duplication. We present TRACER, a semantic-aware framework for fine-grained code contamination detection. TRACER models contamination using three levels of semantic overlap - Functionally Identical, Nearly Identical, and Shared Logic - and detects them through a coarse-to-fine pipeline. We also introduce the first benchmark for fine-grained code contamination detection, spanning three widely used benchmarks and three representative post-training datasets. TRACER achieves strong and consistent performance across multiple LLM backbones, with GPT-5 reaching an F1 score of 0.91 in fine-grained detection. In the binary setting, TRACER attains an F1 of 0.92, outperforming existing methods by 42%-217%. We further conduct ablation studies and error analysis to assess the contributions of individual components in TRACER.

Knowledge graph embedding (KGE) has caught significant interest for its effectiveness in knowledge graph completion (KGC), specifically link prediction (LP), with recent KGE models cracking the LP benchmarks. Despite the rapidly growing literature, insufficient attention has been paid to the cooperation between humans and AI on KG. However, humans' capability to analyze graphs conceptually may further improve the efficacy of KGE models with semantic information. To this effect, we carefully designed a human-AI team (HAIT) system dubbed KG-HAIT, which harnesses the human insights on KG by leveraging fully human-designed ad-hoc dynamic programming (DP) on KG to produce human insightful feature (HIF) vectors that capture the subgraph structural feature and semantic similarities. By integrating HIF vectors into the training of KGE models, notable improvements are observed across various benchmarks and metrics, accompanied by accelerated model convergence. Our results underscore the effectiveness of human-designed DP in the task of LP, emphasizing the pivotal role of collaboration between humans and AI on KG. We open avenues for further exploration and innovation through KG-HAIT, paving the way towards more effective and insightful KG analysis techniques.
