Key Points
- Large Language Models (LLMs) have shown promise in code generation, but their performance on complex programming tasks is still limited.
- Self-repair, where the model debugs and fixes its own code, has become popular for improving performance.
- Increasing the number of initial programs consistently leads to performance gains for GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 models.
- The study explores the role of textual feedback in self-repair for code generation and aligns with software engineering practices like Test-Driven Development.
- The text excerpt includes citations of various research papers and publications related to neural program synthesis, code generation, and self-repair.

In the document "Demystifying GPT Self-Repair for Code Generation," the authors describe a process for code generation using GPT models. They stop the process if a sample passes all tests, otherwise they collect error messages from the execution environment.
Increasing the number of initial programs (n_p) consistently leads to performance gains for both GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 models. However, increasing the number of feedback-repairs (n_f_r) does not provide significant gains and
The study explores the role of textual feedback in self-repair for code generation. It assumes access to an executable suite of unit tests for each task and aligns with software engineering practices like Test-Driven Development. The study did not track the time taken
The text excerpt includes citations of various research papers and publications related to neural program synthesis, code generation, and self-repair. Some of the key papers mentioned include "Teaching Large Language Models to Self-Debug" by X. Chen et al.,
The following papers are referenced in the document: 1. "Measuring Coding Challenge Competence With APPS" by He, D. Song, and J. Steinhardt. 2. "Fault-Aware Neural Code Rankers" by J. P
This excerpt includes a list of references to various papers and blog posts related to code generation and the use of language models. It mentions papers on automatic patch generation, iterative refinement with self-feedback, learning to repair compilation errors, and open large language models for
The excerpt provides references to various papers related to code generation and program repair. It also includes a table showing results per difficulty for self-repair and the number of initial programs. Additionally, there is a figure depicting GPT-3.5 and G
This text excerpt provides information on the results of a study on GPT self-repair for code generation. The first part includes a figure that shows the results per difficulty level. The second part presents the instructions given to participants in the human experiment, along
The initial code provided in the document is incorrect and needs to be fixed. The issue with the code is that it initializes the result 'min-diff' to 'abs(Raccoon-sum)', which is incorrect because Snuke and Raccoon
The text excerpt discusses two separate coding problems.
In the first problem, the task is to find the number of ways to make a complete figure with certain properties. The answer needs to be calculated modulo 998244353. The given code for this
The summary is organized into separate paragraphs to distinguish distinct ideas. The first paragraph includes the key points about GPT-4's feedback not containing blocks of Python code or expressing uncertainty. The second paragraph summarizes the specifications, constraints, input, output, and
The user expresses uncertainty in their understanding of the code's current behavior and suggests using a min-cut algorithm. The prompting structure used for the experiments is described. Different prompts are used for initial code generation, feedback samples, repair samples, and joint feedback-re
Polycarp wants to reverse a set of words in order to meet certain conditions. The input consists of test cases, each with a number of words and the words themselves. The output should indicate the minimal number of words to be reversed and their indexes
The given code is incorrect and contains a bug. It does not consider numbers that start or end with zeros as valid numerical palindromes. The code returns '00' as a valid palindrome, which is incorrect. The issue can be fixed by
The given text excerpt is a combination of code and other information. To create a concise summary, we will focus on the key points and omit the code and irrelevant details.
The text discusses a problem involving numerical palindromes. It states that
The code is a program for calculating the earliest time to book a train in order to earn delay compensation. It takes input for the number of stations and scheduled trains, and then calculates the start time of the earliest train journey that qualifies for compensation. The
There are some issues with the code for generating code. One issue is that it checks if you reach your destination in 30 minutes instead of within 30 minutes of the expected time. Another issue is that it prints the wrong times. The program should
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 issue, float division should be used and the result should be converted to an integer. Another issue is that the
