RoundTripCodeEval - Arithmetic Coding: leaderboard
RoundTripCodeEval (RTCE; Maveli, Vergari and Cohen, 2026) tests whether models can execute and invert code, here an arithmetic-coding compressor written in Python, on 250 synthetic inputs: predict the encoder output and the decoder output, directly and by inverting the function they are given. The board is the paper average of exact match, edit similarity and pass@5 over the four tasks, in percent (higher is better); zero-shot with one worked example.
Metric: Mean of exact match, edit similarity and pass@5 (%) over the four round-trip tasks for arithmetic coding (output prediction and input prediction, each directly and through the inverted function), 250 inputs, zero-shot with one worked example, five completions. Source: arxiv.org. Saturation forecast: Estimated already saturated. 15 models tracked.
