SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires bigcode-evaluation-harness, transformers, accelerate, datasets, and includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a standardized framework for evaluating the performance of code generation models across a wide range of benchmarks, enabling objective comparison and quality assessment.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Multi-Benchmark Support: Evaluates models on HumanEval, MBPP, MultiPL-E, and over 15 other industry-standard benchmarks.
  • Pass@k Metrics: Measures functional correctness and code generation quality using pass@k metrics.
  • Multi-Language Evaluation: Supports evaluation across 18 different programming languages.
  • Use Case: A researcher wants to compare two new code generation models. They can use this Skill to run both models against HumanEval and MBPP benchmarks, generating a clear pass@k score for each to determine which performs better.

Quick Start

Use the evaluating-code-models skill to benchmark the 'bigcode/starcoder2-7b' model on the HumanEval task.

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

This Skill evaluates code generation models using pass@k metrics across multiple benchmarks. It measures functional correctness and code generation quality by testing models against standardized datasets like HumanEval and MBPP.

Can I benchmark a code model across multiple programming languages?

Yes, you can benchmark code generation models across 18 programming languages using the MultiPL-E benchmark. This Skill supports multi-language evaluation to comprehensively assess model performance in different language environments.

What benchmarks are supported for testing code generation models?

Supported benchmarks for testing code generation models include HumanEval, MBPP, MultiPL-E, and over 15 other industry-standard frameworks. These provide a standardized evaluation framework for objective comparison and quality assessment.

Do I need to install bigcode-evaluation-harness to evaluate code models?

Yes, installing the bigcode-evaluation-harness library and associated Python dependencies like transformers and accelerate is required. This setup provides the necessary environment to execute code model evaluation tasks and generate pass@k scores.

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

The best way to compare two code generation models objectively is to run both against the same benchmarks, such as HumanEval and MBPP. This Skill generates clear pass@k scores for each model to determine which performs better.
