Study finds data contamination has nuanced impact on code intelligence models

A new study published on arXiv investigates the impact of data contamination on code intelligence models, specifically examining how different types of contamination affect performance evaluations. The research tested various models including RoBERTa, GPT-2, LLaMA, and StarCoder across code translation, generation, and summarization tasks in Java and Python. Findings suggest that while paired contamination does not significantly overestimate performance in pre-training/fine-tuning paradigms, it does affect LLMs during direct inference or small-scale fine-tuning.
