Embedding-based retrieval with similarity search enhances LLMs in solving algorithmic problems from CodeContests dataset.

Researchers develop RAG approach for LLMs in competitive programming. Integrates embedding retrieval and dynamic threshold to mitigate noise. Evaluates on CodeContests test split with similar training instances. Shows improved pass rates and Elo ratings. Min-K analysis distinguishes generalization from memorization.

Key facts
  • RAG method uses embedding-based retrieval for similar problems
  • Dynamic threshold mitigates retrieval noise
  • Evaluated on CodeContests dataset test split
  • Measures performance with pass rates and CodeForces Elo
