AI coding benchmarks face over-specification, new paper suggests solutions

A new research paper addresses the challenge of over-specification and under-specification in AI coding benchmarks. The authors propose methods to derive parsimonious hints that avoid leaking ground-truth information, which can lead to "spoilers" and reduce a benchmark's utility. The paper examines existing benchmarks like SWE-bench Pro, FEA-bench, Doc2Feat-bench, and Multi-SWE-bench, suggesting techniques to strike a balance between providing necessary guidance and preventing solutions from bypassing core evaluation metrics.
