MERA Original Paper: leaderboard

The baseline evaluation printed in the original MERA paper (Fenogenova et al., ACL 2024): Russian-language tasks run with the authors' lm-eval-based harness at benchmark code v1.1.0, with fixed instruction prompts, a fixed number of shots per task, log-likelihood scoring for classification and multiple-choice tasks and greedy generation otherwise. The total score is the mean of the 17 problem-solving and exam-based task scores in percent, higher is better; these runs are separate from the live MERA leaderboard, whose submissions use later code versions.

Metric: Total Score (%; mean of 17 problem-solving and exam tasks, MERA code v1.1.0). Source: arxiv.org. Saturation forecast: Estimated already saturated. 19 models tracked.
