FireWorldBench - Causal Mechanism Attribution (Rendered Images): leaderboard
The causal mechanism attribution dimension of FireWorldBench (Chen et al., 2026): attributing an observed change in a simulated fire to its physical mechanism, such as buoyancy, crossflow or ventilation. Observations are given as physics-rendered field images and 3D scene renderings; the score is completion accuracy in percent, averaged over matched multiple-choice and open-report questions and scored deterministically; higher is better.
Metric: Completion accuracy (%; P4, causal mechanism attribution items of the controlled-simulation subset; image-observation track (physics-rendered field visualizations and 3D scene renderings); each cell is the mean of the matched choice-format score (Jaccard overlap of selected and gold option sets) and open-report score (exact agreement of required structured slots); deterministic evaluator, no LLM judge; failed or unparseable responses score 0).
