# MBPP Benchmark for Gleam and MoonBit

## Dataset Description
This dataset contains a translation of the **MBPP** benchmark into two no-resource programming languages: **Gleam** and **MoonBit**.

This dataset is derived from the [**MultiPL-E**](https://huggingface.co/datasets/nuprl/MultiPL-E) benchmark, which extends MBPP by translating its programming tasks into multiple programming languages. 

More details on this benchmark and how it was created can be found in the paper [No Resource, No Benchmarks, No Problem? Evaluating and Improving LLMs for Code Generation in No-Resource Languages](https://huggingface.co/papers/2606.16827).

## Dataset Statistics

- Number of tasks: **355**
- Programming languages: **2**
- Total examples: **710**
- Source benchmark: **MBPP**
- Intermediate benchmark: **MultiPL-E**

## Supported Languages

- Gleam
- MoonBit

## Dataset Structure

Each example contains the following fields:

| Field | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| `task_id` | Identifier of the translated task in this benchmark. |
| `original_mbpp_id` | Identifier of the task in the original MBPP benchmark. |
| `prompt` | Signature and docstring of the function to be implemented. |
| `tests` | Test suite used to evaluate the correctness of generated solutions. |

## Usage
To load this benchmark, you can use the `datasets` library as follows.

First, install the library if you haven't already:

```bash
pip install datasets
```

Then, load the dataset:

```python
from datasets import load_dataset

dataset = load_dataset("Devy1/mbpp-no-resource")

# Load the Gleam split
gleam_split = dataset["gleam"]
print(gleam_split[0])
```

Or load only a specific language:

```python
gleam_ds = load_dataset("Devy1/mbpp-no-resource", split="gleam")
```

> **Note:** Executing the test suites requires the corresponding language environments and dependencies. The complete generation and evaluation pipeline, including setup instructions for Gleam and MoonBit, is available in our [GitHub repository](https://github.com/Devy99/no-resource-pl-study).
