AI system ExLabel enhances software engineering dataset quality

Researchers have developed ExLabel, an AI-powered system designed to improve the quality of datasets used for training and evaluating large language models (LLMs) in software engineering tasks. ExLabel uses an evolving experience bank to guide its assessment of task clarity and test coverage, drawing inspiration from how human annotators make context-aware judgments. The system was evaluated using SWE-TQ, a new benchmark created from cleaned annotations of existing datasets, and demonstrated superior performance compared to baseline methods across multiple programming languages. Furthermore, a coding model fine-tuned on data filtered by ExLabel showed a significant improvement in its ability to resolve real-world software issues. AI

IMPACT Improves the reliability and effectiveness of AI models for software engineering tasks by enhancing training data quality.
