AI benchmark contamination traced to pipeline error; scores withdrawn

A pipeline error led to the contamination of four AI benchmarks, including GPQA. The issue stemmed from the GPQA evaluation set being published with a 'train' label on Hugging Face, causing a pipeline to incorrectly select it based on name rather than its intended meaning. This oversight has led to the withdrawal of scores from these benchmarks, and future datasets will undergo allowlist validation and n-gram screening to prevent recurrence. AI

IMPACT Errors in benchmark datasets can skew performance evaluations, potentially misdirecting research and development efforts.

    The root cause: GPQA publishes its eval set in a single split labeled 'train' on Hugging Face, and Soofi's pipeline selected by name rather than meaning. An audit found the same failure across four benchmarks. Future datasets now get allowlist validation and n-gram screening. htt…
