Slide Presentation (12 slides)
Key Points
- Large Language Models (LLMs) have shown promise in code generation, but their performance on challenging programming tasks is still limited.
- Self-repair, where the model debugs and fixes its own code, has been proposed as a way to improve performance.
- Increasing the number of initial programs and fixing the number of feedback-repairs leads to relative performance gains for both models.
- The role of textual feedback in self-repair for code generation is discussed.
- A new evaluation strategy called pass@t is introduced, which considers the cost of repair.
- The document includes references to various research papers related to neural program synthesis and code generation.

Large Language Models (LLMs) have shown promise in code generation, but their performance on challenging programming tasks is still limited. Self-repair, where the model debugs and fixes its own code, has been proposed as a way to improve performance.
In this excerpt, the authors discuss the process of self-repair for code generation using GPT models. They explain that if a sample passes all tests, a satisfying program has been found. Otherwise, error messages are collected to identify compile/runtime errors or
Increasing the number of initial programs and fixing the number of feedback-repairs leads to relative performance gains for both models. However, increasing the number of feedback-repairs does not provide significant gains and may even decrease performance at lower budgets. The most important factor
This paper discusses the role of textual feedback in self-repair for code generation. The authors introduce a new evaluation strategy called pass@t, which considers the cost of repair. They find that GPT-3.5 is not capable of self-re
The document includes references to various research papers related to neural program synthesis and code generation. Some of the papers mentioned are focused on self-debugging and self-repairing large language models. Others discuss sequence-to-sequence learning for program repair, scaling language
Several papers on code generation and program repair techniques are referenced in this excerpt. These papers include topics such as measuring coding challenge competence, fault-aware neural code rankers, inductive programming, search-based pseudocode to code, code generation through pretrained models and
The summary includes references to various papers and blog posts related to code generation and patch generation. These include papers on automatic patch generation, iterative refinement with self-feedback, learning to repair compilation errors, large language models for code synthesis, training language models with human
The summary is not clear as it is difficult to understand the main ideas and key points from the given excerpt.
The text excerpt includes a mixture of numerical data, study instructions, quantitative analysis results, and examples from the qualitative analysis. The key points can be summarized as follows:
In the study on human data, participants were given instructions and examples of tasks. The
The given text excerpt contains three different examples of incorrect code and feedback on how to fix them.
In the first example, the code initializes a variable incorrectly, leading to incorrect output. The feedback suggests setting the variable to negative infinity initially instead.
In
The text excerpt is a combination of two different sections. The first section discusses finding the number of ways to make a figure complete and the code provided to solve the problem. The second section presents a problem related to friends' movements on a number line and
The feedback suggests conducting a tree search to determine the max and min and optimizing the search. The code block given in the feedback can be copied to fix the program. The model does not express uncertainty in the examples studied. The specification is about determining the
The user expresses uncertainty about the current behavior of the code and suggests using a min-cut algorithm. The prompting structure for the experiments is described, including different prompts for call-based and stdio-based tasks. The prompts for feedback samples, repair samples, and
Polycarp wants to reverse a set of words so that they are in the correct order and all unique. The input consists of test cases with the number of words in each set and the words themselves. The output should indicate the minimal number of words
The code provided is supposed to identify numerical palindromes within a given number, but it contains a bug. The bug causes the code to consider numbers that start or end with zeros as valid palindromes, which is incorrect. The fix
The given text excerpt is a combination of two different sections. The first section discusses a coding problem related to palindromes, while the second section provides examples and fixes a bug in a Python code implementation.
In the first section, the problem
The provided code is for a train scheduling problem where the goal is to find the earliest train journey that qualifies for delay compensation. The code contains errors and has received feedback from both GPT-4 and participants.
The GPT-4 feedback highlights that
There are two larger issues with the code for generating code. First, it checks if the destination is reached in 30 minutes instead of within 30 minutes of the expected time. To fix this, the program needs to keep track of the expected time
The code attempts to calculate the number of ways using integer division, which may result in a loss of precision and incorrect results. To fix this, float division should be used and then the result should be converted to an integer by rounding it. The formula
