Synthetic Tasks

• remove function body, implement it, validate output against original function
• corrupt function, have LLM find and fix mistakes (AST based)
• translate code into other languages
• commit => describe issue => implement commit
• make up tasks => write tests => implement code
• fill in the middle tasks
• learn to optimize, best of N implementation to write faster version of existing functions
• existing code => tests => new code
• parser guided generation (reject paths that can’t parse)
  • GitHub - tree-sitter/tree-sitter: An incremental parsing system for programming tools
  • GitHub - lark-parser/lark: Lark is a parsing toolkit for Python, built with a focus on ergonomics, performance and modularity.
  • GitHub - amazon-science/incremental-parsing: Incremental Python parser for constrained generation of code by LLMs.
• structured generation (grammar based) Structured Generation with LLMs
