CoNaLa (CMU CoNaLa, the Code/Natural Language Challenge)

Introduced by Pengcheng Yin et al. in Learning to Mine Aligned Code and Natural Language Pairs from Stack Overflow23 May 2018 archive 2025-07-28

The CMU CoNaLa, the Code/Natural Language Challenge dataset is a joint project from the Carnegie Mellon University NeuLab and Strudel labs. Its purpose is for testing the generation of code snippets from natural language. The data comes from StackOverflow questions. There are 2379 training and 500 test examples that were manually annotated. Every example has a natural language intent and its corresponding python snippet. In addition to the manually annotated dataset, there are also 598,237 mined intent-snippet pairs. These examples are similar to the hand-annotated ones except that they contain a probability if the pair is valid.

9 shown of 9 papers with a leaderboard row on this dataset's benchmarks, newest first. The archive's own "papers using this dataset" list was never published, so this is the benchmark-backed subset; the archive's count for this dataset is 77. The Syntology column is from Syntology's graph (read 2026-09-24), stated per sample; it is not part of any archive number.
