TACO: Topics in Algorithmic COde generation dataset
This dataset addresses the need for more rigorous evaluation benchmarks in code generation models, though it is incremental as it builds on existing dataset efforts.
The authors introduced TACO, a large-scale code generation dataset with 25,433 training and 1,000 test problems, including up to 1.55 million solutions, designed to provide challenging benchmarks for evaluating problem understanding and reasoning in real-world programming scenarios.
We introduce TACO, an open-source, large-scale code generation dataset, with a focus on the optics of algorithms, designed to provide a more challenging training dataset and evaluation benchmark in the field of code generation models. TACO includes competition-level programming questions that are more challenging, to enhance or evaluate problem understanding and reasoning abilities in real-world programming scenarios. There are 25433 and 1000 coding problems in training and test set, as well as up to 1.55 million diverse solution answers. Moreover, each TACO problem includes several fine-grained labels such as task topics, algorithms, programming skills, and difficulty levels, providing a more precise reference for the training and evaluation of code generation models. The dataset and evaluation scripts are available on Hugging Face Hub (https://huggingface.co/datasets/BAAI/TACO) and Github (https://github.com/FlagOpen/TACO).
