About evaluating-code-models

The 'evaluating-code-models' skill is designed to evaluate code generation models across multiple benchmarks, providing insights into model performance with pass@k metrics. It solves the problem of assessing and comparing the performance of code generation models in an industry-standard manner, particularly useful for evaluating models on widely recognized benchmarks like HumanEval, MBPP, MultiPL-E, and other datasets. This skill leverages the BigCode Evaluation Harness to evaluate models across more than 15 benchmarks, allowing researchers and developers to objectively measure and compare model abilities, particularly for tasks involving code generation, multi-language support, and model robustness.

FAQ

How do I use this skill to evaluate a code model?

You can use the skill by following the steps outlined in the Quick Start section, which involves configuring the evaluation harness, selecting a model, and running the evaluation on benchmarks like HumanEval, MBPP, or MultiPL-E.

What benchmarks are available for evaluation?

The skill supports evaluation on several benchmarks, including HumanEval, MBPP, HumanEval+, MultiPL-E (18 languages), APPS, and DS-1000, offering a wide range of testing scenarios from entry-level problems to complex data science tasks.

Can I evaluate a custom or private model with this skill?

Yes, you can evaluate custom models by specifying the path to the model in the configuration. You can also use private models by providing authentication tokens and ensuring safe execution with 'trust_remote_code' and 'use_auth_token' parameters.

What programming languages are supported in the MultiPL-E benchmark?

The MultiPL-E benchmark supports evaluation in 18 programming languages, including C++, Java, JavaScript, Go, Rust, and more.

Are there any hardware or software requirements for using this skill?

The skill requires the installation of dependencies like 'bigcode-evaluation-harness', 'transformers', 'datasets', and 'accelerate'. It is also recommended to have a suitable hardware setup for running large-scale evaluations, especially when using models with higher parameters.
