| Challenge: | Existing methods for code explanations fail to distinguish correct from partially or fully incorrect explanations and their similarity scores are poorly calibrated. |
| Approach: | They propose a model-agnostic graded fine-tuning framework that learns calibrated similarity representations between code and explanations to support fine-grained supervision and evaluation. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework improves F1 score and ECE scores on two embedding models and reduces expected calibration error. |
