AIRS-Bench: a Suite of Tasks for Frontier AI Research Science Agents
Alisia Lupidi, Bhavul Gauri, Thomas Simon Foster +34
LLM agents hold significant promise for advancing scientific research. To accelerate this progress, we introduce AIRS-Bench (the AI Research Science Benchmark), a suite of 20 tasks…
DéjàQ: Open-Ended Evolution of Diverse, Learnable and Verifiable Problems
Willem Röpke, Samuel Coward, Andrei Lupu +3
Recent advances in reasoning models have yielded impressive results in mathematics and coding. However, most approaches rely on static datasets, which have been suggested to encour…
Measuring what Matters: Construct Validity in Large Language Model Benchmarks
Andrew M. Bean, Ryan Othniel Kearns, Angelika Romanou +39
Evaluating large language models (LLMs) is crucial for both assessing their capabilities and identifying safety or robustness issues prior to deployment. Reliably measuring abstrac…
StochasTok: Improving Fine-Grained Subword Understanding in LLMs
Anya Sims, Thom Foster, Klara Kaleb +5
Subword-level understanding is integral to numerous tasks, including understanding multi-digit numbers, spelling mistakes, abbreviations, rhyming, and wordplay. Despite this, curre…
Learning to Reason at the Frontier of Learnability
Thomas Foster, Anya Sims, Johannes Forkel +2
Reinforcement learning is now widely adopted as the final stage of large language model training, especially for reasoning-style tasks such as maths problems. Typically, models att…
