CodexGraph: Bridging Large Language Models and Code Repositories via Code Graph Databases

Understand

Large Language Models (LLMs) excel in stand-alone code tasks like HumanEval and MBPP, but struggle with handling entire code repositories.

• This challenge has prompted research on enhancing LLM-codebase interaction at a repository scale.
• Current solutions rely on similarity-based retrieval or manual tools and APIs, each with notable drawbacks.
• Similarity-based retrieval often has low recall in complex tasks, while manual tools and APIs are typically task-specific and require expert knowledge, reducing their generalizability across diverse code tasks and real-world applications.
