ARC-e

ARC-e is a benchmark for general reasoning and comprehension. The official description says: "AI2 Reasoning Challenge (Easy set) - grade-school science questions". Below we describe in simple words what benchmarks of this type generally examine.

ARC-e measures general reasoning and comprehension. In detail, it checks:

• drawing the right conclusion from a passage or scenario
• commonsense judgement about everyday situations and words
• counting, comparing and reasoning over several facts at once
• avoiding shortcuts that memorise answers instead of reasoning

The score is accuracy: the percentage of tasks answered or solved correctly. 100% means every task was solved perfectly; higher is better.

Official methodology note: AI2 Reasoning Challenge (Easy set) - grade-school science questions. 0-shot.
