Title: Evaluation Methods and Practices for Large Code Models

Abstract: Large code models are the core "brains" of AI developer tools like GitHub Copilot and Cursor. The strength of a model's coding capabilities directly relates to the product's ability and market competitiveness. Nowadays, there are more and more types of large code models being open sourced and trained within enterprises, with increasingly powerful capabilities, how to select a suitable and excellent model for AI developer tools and continuously iterate the model to enhance product capabilities has become one of the key issues that need to be addressed in intelligent code products. How to comprehensively, accurately, and quickly evaluate the code capabilities of each model, and through evaluation feedback, promote the next round of model iteration? This is a problem that various intelligent code product teams are exploring and practicing.

2. Chao Peng (ByteDance)

Title: MarsCode Agent: Automated Program Repair based on Large Language Models

Abstract: In recent years, advancements in large language models (LLMs) have shown great potential in automating various software development tasks, including code completion, test generation, and bug fixing. However, due to the complexity and diversity of real-world software systems, the application of LLMs in automated bug fixing still faces many challenges. To address these issues, we propose MarsCode Agent, a new framework that leverages LLMs to automatically identify and fix errors in software code. MarsCode Agent combines the powerful capabilities of LLMs with advanced code analysis techniques to accurately locate faults and generate patches. Our approach follows a systematic process, including planning, bug reproduction, fault localization, candidate patch generation, and validation, to ensure high-quality bug fixes. Evaluations on SWE-bench and deployments in real-world enterprise code repositories demonstrate that MarsCode Agent achieves a high success rate in bug fixing compared to most existing automated methods.

Bio: Dr. Chao Peng is a Senior Researcher at ByteDance. He received his PhD degree from the University of Edinburgh under supervision of Prof. Ajitha Rajan. At ByteDance, he is in the Software Engineering Lab, MarsCode IDE Team.

3. Xing Hu (Zhejiang University)

Title: LLM for Code: Generation, Testing, and Evaluation

Abstract: Recently, Large Language Models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT has attracted great attention from both academia and industry. They have shown substantial gains in solving a variety of problems ranging from Q&A to text summarization. Existing studies also found that some LLMs can be applied to the source code, such as code generation or debugging. However, their performance on various software engineering tasks has not been systematically investigated, and the understanding of LLMs is arguably fairly limited. Also, it is unclear how we can build software engineering capability based on LLM. In this talk, I will discuss the performance of LLMs on software development and maintenance, including code generation and test generation. I will also present some software engineering applications based on LLM (e.g., vulnerability management, code search, and code idioms mining).

Bio: Xing Hu is an associate professor at school of software technology, Zhejiang University (ZJU). She got her Ph.D degree in July 2020 from School of Electronics Engineering and Computer Science (EECS), Peking University, China.
