Dataset Card for Mostly Basic Python Problems (mbpp)

Dataset Card for Mostly Basic Python Problems (mbpp)

Dataset Description

Repository: https://github.com/google-research/google-research/tree/master/mbpp
Paper: Program Synthesis with Large Language Models

Dataset Summary

The benchmark consists of around 1,000 crowd-sourced Python programming problems, designed to be solvable by entry level programmers, covering programming fundamentals, standard library functionality, and so on. Each problem consists of a task description, code solution and 3 automated test cases. As described in the paper, a subset of the data has been hand-verified by us.

Released here as part of Program Synthesis with Large Language Models, Austin et. al., 2021.

Supported Tasks and Leaderboards

This dataset is used to evaluate code generations.

Data Fields

source_file: unknown
text/prompt: description of programming task
code: solution for programming task
test_setup_code/test_imports: necessary code imports to execute tests
test_list: list of tests to verify solution
challenge_test_list: list of more challenging test to further probe solution

Data Splits

There are two version of the dataset (full and sanitized), each with four splits:

train
evaluation
test
prompt

The prompt split corresponds to samples used for few-shot prompting and not for training.

Dataset Creation

See section 2.1 of original paper.

Curation Rationale

In order to evaluate code generation functions a set of simple programming tasks as well as solutions is necessary which this dataset provides.

Source Data

Initial Data Collection and Normalization

The dataset was manually created from scratch.

Who are the source language producers?

The dataset was created with an internal crowdsourcing effort at Google.

Annotations

Annotation process

The full dataset was created first and a subset then underwent a second round to improve the task descriptions.

Who are the annotators?

The dataset was created with an internal crowdsourcing effort at Google.

Personal and Sensitive Information

None.

Considerations for Using the Data

Make sure you execute generated Python code in a safe environment when evauating against this dataset as generated code could be harmful.

Social Impact of Dataset

With this dataset code generating models can be better evaluated which leads to fewer issues introduced when using such models.

Discussion of Biases

Other Known Limitations

Since the task descriptions might not be expressive enough to solve the task. The sanitized split aims at addressing this issue by having a second round of annotators improve the dataset.
