FAQPage Schema
How do I benchmark code generation models using HumanEval and MBPP?

To benchmark code generation models using HumanEval and MBPP, this Skill automates the evaluation process and measures functional correctness with pass@k metrics. It provides objective performance comparisons across these standardized benchmarks.

What is the pass@k metric in code generation evaluation?

The pass@k metric in code generation evaluation measures functional correctness by calculating the probability that at least one of k generated samples passes the tests. This Skill utilizes it as an industry standard for benchmarking.

Can I evaluate multi-language code generation across different programming languages?

Yes, you can evaluate multi-language code generation across 18 different programming languages using the MultiPL-E benchmark. This Skill facilitates testing multi-language support to measure code generation quality comprehensively.

Does the BigCode Evaluation Harness support custom code generation benchmarks?

The BigCode Evaluation Harness supports over 15 standardized benchmarks including HumanEval, MBPP, and MultiPL-E. While it provides extensive multi-benchmark evaluation, custom benchmark integration depends on the harness's configuration capabilities.

What dependencies do I need to run code generation benchmarks?

To run code generation benchmarks, you need the bigcode-evaluation-harness along with transformers, accelerate, and datasets libraries. These dependencies provide the environment for loading models and executing standardized benchmark evaluations.
