PAL-Bench (PAL-TRACE) - Owner Fact Recovery: leaderboard

PAL-Bench (Yan et al., 2026) asks a system to reconstruct a person's profile from a synthetic longitudinal photo album seen only through perception outputs (captions, OCR, entities, face clusters, timestamps and coarse metadata), over 50 users and 2,799 hidden targets. Runs use the authors' PAL-TRACE framework with the listed LLM as backbone and a fixed Qwen3.6-35B-A3B judge; this board is owner-fact recovery, the share of the album owner's hidden fact atoms that the predicted profile states, from 0 to 1 averaged over users, higher is better.

Metric: Owner-fact recovery (0-1; share of a user's hidden owner-fact atoms, 840 in all, whose content a predicted fact matches; PAL-TRACE framework with the listed LLM as reconstruction backbone; 50 synthetic users, macro-averaged over users; Qwen3.6-35B-A3B semantic judge).
