C-to-Rust Code Translation: A Three-Stage Curriculum of Pretraining, Debugging-Aware SFT, and Task-Specific SFT

Talk overview

Translating C code into safe Rust is a key goal for improving software safety. This talk presents a three-stage training approach for Qwen3-27B, including Rust-focused pretraining, debugging-aware SFT, and task-specific SFT. The model is evaluated using SACTOR, showing improved success rates and idiomatic code quality compared to baselines.
