MultiPL-E HumanEval#

Overview#

MultiPL-E HumanEval is a multilingual code generation benchmark derived from OpenAI’s HumanEval. It extends the original HumanEval to 18 programming languages, enabling cross-lingual evaluation of code generation capabilities.

Task Description#

Task Type: Multilingual Code Generation
Input: Programming problem prompt with function signature and docstring
Output: Complete function implementation that passes test cases
Languages: 18 languages (C++, TypeScript, Shell, C#, Go, Java, Lua, JavaScript, PHP, Perl, Racket, R, Rust, Scala, Swift, Ruby, D, Julia)

Key Features#

Multilingual evaluation across 18 programming languages
Execution-based evaluation with test cases
Supports pass@k metric for code generation
Docker sandbox environment for safe code execution
Derived from HumanEval with consistent problem difficulty

Evaluation Notes#

Sandbox Required: Requires sandbox environment for safe code execution
Default evaluation uses test split
Primary metric: Accuracy with pass@k aggregation
Timeout: 30 seconds per test case
See sandbox documentation for setup
