The generation of code -based code faces a verification deviation
The LLMs have shown solid performance in programming and are widely adopted in tools such as the cursor and the Github co -pilot to stimulate the productivity of developers. However, due to their probabilistic nature, LLM cannot provide formal guarantees for the generated code. The code generated often contains bugs and when the generation of LLM -based code is adopted, these problems can become a bottle of productivity. The development of appropriate benchmarks to follow progress in the generation of verifiable code is important but difficult, because it implies three interconnected tasks: code generation, generation of specifications and generation of tests. Current references are not short, because they lack support for the three tasks, quality control, robust measurements and modular design.
Existing benchmarks lack full support for verifiability
References like Humaneval and MBPP have good progress on the generation of code -based code, but do not manage formal specifications or evidence. Many efforts focused on verification target only one or two tasks and assume that other elements are provided by humans. DAFNYBENCH and MINICODEPROPS are designed for the generation of evidence, while the specifications and tests of the Autospec and Specgen lower of the code written by man. The interactive systems of supplying the theorem, such as Lean, provide a promising target for the generation of verifiable code with LLM because they support the construction of evidence with intermediate steps. However, the existing verification references in Lean, such as Minicodeprops and Fvapps, have quality coverage and quality control limits.
Verina presentation: a holistic reference for code, specifications and test generation
Researchers from the University of California and Meta Fair proposed Verina (verifiable code generation Arena), a high quality reference to assess the generation of verifiable code. It consists of 189 programming challenges with detailed descriptions of problems, code, specifications, evidence and test of tests, which are formatted in lean. Verina is built with quality control, drawing problems from sources such as MBPP, LiveCodebench and Leetcode to offer different difficulty levels. All samples are examined manually and refined to ensure clear descriptions in natural language, precise formal specifications and precise code implementations. Each sample contains tests of tests to cover positive and negative scenarios, with online coverage at 100% of the implementation of the code and specifications of truth on the ground.
Structure and composition of the Verina data set
Verina consists of two sub-assemblies with various levels of difficulty: Verina-Basic and Verina-Adv. Verina-Basic contains 108 problems translated from the Dafny Man-written code. This includes 49 MBPP-DFY50 problems and 59 additional Cloverbench bodies, translated using Openai O3-Mini with an invitation to a few strokes, and followed by an inspection. Verina-ADV contains 81 more advanced coding problems from student bids in a theorem treating course, where students come from platform problems like Leetcode and Livecodebench, then formalized solutions in Lean. In addition, Verina uses rigorous quality assurance, including descriptions of detailed problems, complete code coverage with positive tests and complete test success rates on the ground specifications, etc.
Insights performance: LLM assessment on Verina highlights the key challenges
The evaluation of nine LLM de Pointe sur Verina reveals a clear hierarchy. The generation of code reaches the highest success rates, followed by the generation of specifications, while the generation of evidence remains the most difficult, with pass rates @ 1 less than 3.6% for all models. Verina-Adv is more difficult compared to Verina-Basic in the three tasks, stressing that the increase in the complexity of the problem has a significant impact on the performance of the verifiable code generation. The refinement of iterative proof with O4-Mini shows an improvement of 7.41% to 22.22% for simpler problems on Verina-Basic after 64 iterations, although the gains are limited on Verina-Adv. The provision of truth truth specifications improves code generation, indicating that formal specifications can effectively force and direct the synthesis process.
Conclusion: Verina establishes a new standard in the evaluation of the verifiable code
In conclusion, the researchers introduced Verina, an increase in the verifiable code generation. It offers 189 examples carefully organized with detailed descriptions of tasks, a high quality code, allegation specifications and extended tests with full line coverage. However, the data set is still relatively small for fine adjustment tasks, requiring scaling thanks to the automated annotation with LLM assistance. Verina emphasizes simple and autonomous tasks adapted to comparative analysis but not entirely representative of complex world verification projects. The metric of the generation of specifications could be improved in the future by incorporating more capable promoters, including those based on LLMS or SMT solvents to effectively manage the complex relationships of solidity and exhaustiveness.
