New benchmark RepoProbe evaluates LLM code comprehension and Edit Bias

Researchers have introduced RepoProbe, a new benchmark designed to evaluate how well large language models (LLMs) can comprehend the architecture of software repositories. Unlike previous benchmarks that relied on GitHub Issues and could be bypassed by pattern matching, RepoProbe uses GitHub Discussions for open-ended architectural questions. This approach aims to reduce "Edit Bias," where models prematurely propose code changes without understanding the existing structure. The benchmark also incorporates a Checklist-Based Verification Protocol to ensure objective evaluation of LLM responses, addressing the high variance and low interpretability of traditional scalar scoring methods.
