Abstract: This paper analyzes Large Language Models (LLMs) with regard to their programming exercise generation capabilities. Through a survey study, we defined the state of the art, extracted their strengths and weaknesses and finally proposed an evaluation matrix, helping researchers and educators to decide which LLM is the best fitting for the programming exercise generation use case. We also found that multiple LLMs are capable of producing useful programming exercises. Nevertheless, there exist challenges like the ease with which LLMs might solve exercises generated by LLMs. This paper contributes to the ongoing discourse on the integration of LLMs in education.

Large Language Models (LLMs) exhibit emerging in-context learning abilities through prompt engineering. The challenge of improving the generalizability and factuality of LLMs in natural language understanding and question answering remains under-explored. We propose a framework that enhances the reliability of LLMs as it: 1) generalizes out-of-distribution data, 2) elucidates how LLMs benefit from discriminative models, and 3) minimizes hallucinations in generative tasks.
