Researchers have developed a new framework called LeakScale to quantify the causal impact of benchmark contamination in AI models. Unlike previous methods that focused on detecting if evaluation data was present in training sets, LeakScale measures how much exposure to this data actually influences a model's performance. Experiments across various domains and model families demonstrated that benchmark exposure consistently increases accuracy, with effects ranging from 3.22 to 10.66 percentage points. This new approach allows for a more precise understanding of how benchmark scores are affected by training data leakage. AI
