# Model Details
## Model Description
The advent of pre-trained code language models (Code LLMs) has led to significant progress in language-to-code generation. State-of-the-art approaches in this area combine CodeLM decoding with sample pruning and reranking using test cases or heuristics based on the execution results. However, it is challenging to obtain test cases for many real-world language-to-code applications, and heuristics cannot well capture the semantic features of the execution results, such as data type and value range, which often indicates the correctness of the program. In this work, we propose LEVER, a simple approach to improve language-to-code generation by learning to verify the generated programs with their execution results. Specifically, we train verifiers to determine whether a program sampled from the CodeLM is correct or not based on the natural language input, the program itself and its execution results. The sampled programs are reranked by combining the verification score with the CodeLM generation probability, and marginalizing over programs with the same execution results. On four datasets across the domains of table QA, math QA and basic Python programming, LEVER consistently improves over the base Code LLMs (4.6% to 10.9% with code-davinci-002) and achieves new state-of-the-art results on all of them.

# Uses
## Direct Use
This model is *not* intended to be directly used. LEVER is used to verify and rerank the programs generated by code LLMs (e.g., Codex). We recommend checking out our [Github Repo](https://github.com/niansong1996/lever) for more details.
## Downstream Use
LEVER is learned to verify and rerank the programs sampled from code LLMs for different tasks.
More specifically, for `lever-mbpp-codex`, it was trained on the outputs of `code-davinci-002` on the [MBPP](https://github.com/google-research/google-research/tree/master/mbpp) dataset. It can be used to rerank the SQL programs generated by Codex out-of-box.
Moreover, it may also be applied to other model's outputs on the MBPP dataset, as studied in the [Original Paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2302.08468).
## Out-of-Scope Use
The model should not be used to intentionally create hostile or alienating environments for people.
# Bias, Risks, and Limitations
Significant research has explored bias and fairness issues with language models (see, e.g., [Sheng et al. (2021)](https://aclanthology.org/2021.acl-long.330.pdf) and [Bender et al. (2021)](https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/3442188.3445922)). Predictions generated by the model may include disturbing and harmful stereotypes across protected classes; identity characteristics; and sensitive, social, and occupational groups.
## Recommendations
Users (both direct and downstream) should be made aware of the risks, biases and limitations of the model. More information needed for further recommendations.
# Training Details
## Training Data
The model is trained with the outputs from `code-davinci-002` model on the [MBPP](https://github.com/google-research/google-research/tree/master/mbpp) dataset.
## Training Procedure
20 program samples are drawn from the Codex model on the training examples of the MBPP dataset, those programs are later executed to obtain the execution information.
And for each example and its program sample, the natural language description and execution information are also part of the inputs that used to train the T5-based model to predict "yes" or "no" as the verification labels.
