FAQPage Schema
How do I evaluate code generation models using HumanEval and pass@k metrics?

To evaluate code generation models, you can benchmark them against HumanEval and MBPP datasets to measure functional correctness using pass@k metrics. This requires installing the bigcode-evaluation-harness library to automate testing and report performance scores.

Can I benchmark LLMs across multiple programming languages with MultiPL-E?

Yes, you can benchmark LLMs across 18 programming languages using the MultiPL-E dataset. This multi-language evaluation extends standard code generation benchmarks to provide a comprehensive performance analysis for your models.

What is the best way to compare two code generation models?

The best way to compare code generation models is running them through standardized benchmarks like HumanEval and analyzing their respective pass@1 scores. This provides quantitative pass@k metrics for functional correctness and objective comparison.

Do I need bigcode-evaluation-harness to run pass@k benchmarking?

Yes, installing the bigcode-evaluation-harness library and its dependencies is required for pass@k benchmarking. It acts as the core framework for evaluating code generation models across supported datasets like HumanEval and MBPP.

How does pass@k metric calculation work for code generation?

Pass@k metrics work by measuring the functional correctness of generated code samples against test cases in benchmarks like HumanEval. It calculates the probability that at least one of k generated code samples passes the execution tests.

Does this evaluation support models running with HuggingFace transformers?

Yes, the evaluation supports models loaded with HuggingFace transformers and accelerate. These dependencies integrate with the bigcode-evaluation-harness to execute and benchmark large language models across various datasets.
