Execution Based

Execution-based evaluation is revolutionizing the assessment of large language models (LLMs) for code generation and other tasks, shifting the focus from superficial code similarity metrics to actual program execution and output verification. Current research emphasizes developing robust benchmarks with comprehensive test suites and exploring reinforcement learning techniques to train LLMs that effectively leverage execution feedback for iterative improvement and self-debugging. This rigorous evaluation approach is crucial for advancing the reliability and practical applicability of LLMs in software engineering, data science, and other fields where correct code execution is paramount.
