PyBangla at BLP-2025 Task 2: Enhancing Bangla-to-Python Code Generation with Iterative Self-Correction and Multilingual Agents

AbstractLLMs excel at code generation from English prompts, but this progress has not extended to low-resource languages. This paper addresses the challenge of Bangla-to-Python code generation by introducing BanglaCodeAct, an agent-based framework that leverages multi-agent prompting and iterative self-correction. Unlike prior approaches that rely on task-specific fine-tuning, BanglaCodeAct employs an open-source multilingual LLM within a Thought–Code–Observation loop, enabling the system to dynamically generate, test, and refine code from Bangla instructions. We benchmark several prominent small-parameter open-source LLMs and evaluate their effectiveness on the mHumanEval dataset for Bangla NL2Code. Our results show that Qwen3-8B, when deployed with BanglaCodeAct, achieves the best performance, with a pass@1 accuracy of 94.0% on the development set and 71.6% on the blind test set. These findings establish a new benchmark for Bangla-to-Python translation and highlight the potential of agent-based reasoning for reliable code generation in low-resource languages..
