UTMath: Math Evaluation with Unit Test via Reasoning-to-Coding Thoughts

Bo Yang, Qingping Yang, Yingwei Ma et al.

The evaluation of mathematical reasoning capabilities is essential for advancing Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). While Large Language Models (LLMs) have shown impressive performance in solving mathematical problems, existing benchmarks such as GSM8K and MATH present limitations, including narrow problem definitions with specific numbers and reliance on predetermined rules that hinder accurate assessments of reasoning and generality. This paper introduces the UTMath Benchmark, a robust evaluation framework designed to assess LLMs through extensive unit tests, with a focus on both the accuracy and generality of model responses. It comprises 1,053 cutting-edge problems spanning nine mathematical domains, with an average of 68 test cases per problem. UTMath is highly challenging, with the best-performing model, o1-mini, solving only 32.57\% of the problems, followed by o1-preview at 27.16\%, and GPT-4o at 26.93\%. Furthermore, we present the Reasoning-to-Coding of Thoughts (RCoT) approach, which encourages LLMs to engage in explicit reasoning prior to code generation, thereby facilitating the production of more sophisticated solutions and enhancing overall performance and efficiency. Additionally, we also release the UTMath-Train training dataset (more than 70k samples), to support the community in further exploring mathematical reasoning.

Alibaba LingmaAgent: Improving Automated Issue Resolution via Comprehensive Repository Exploration

Yingwei Ma, Qingping Yang, Rongyu Cao et al.

This paper presents Alibaba LingmaAgent, a novel Automated Software Engineering method designed to comprehensively understand and utilize whole software repositories for issue resolution. Deployed in TONGYI Lingma, an IDE-based coding assistant developed by Alibaba Cloud, LingmaAgent addresses the limitations of existing LLM-based agents that primarily focus on local code information. Our approach introduces a top-down method to condense critical repository information into a knowledge graph, reducing complexity, and employs a Monte Carlo tree search based strategy enabling agents to explore and understand entire repositories. We guide agents to summarize, analyze, and plan using repository-level knowledge, allowing them to dynamically acquire information and generate patches for real-world GitHub issues. In extensive experiments, LingmaAgent demonstrated significant improvements, achieving an 18.5\% relative improvement on the SWE-bench Lite benchmark compared to SWE-agent. In production deployment and evaluation at Alibaba Cloud, LingmaAgent automatically resolved 16.9\% of in-house issues faced by development engineers, and solved 43.3\% of problems after manual intervention. Additionally, we have open-sourced a Python prototype of LingmaAgent for reference by other industrial developers https://github.com/RepoUnderstander/RepoUnderstander. In fact, LingmaAgent has been used as a developed reference by many subsequently agents.
