SDABench - Exploratory: leaderboard
SDABench (2026) exploratory tasks, which examine measurements for patterns that suggest testable hypotheses, on held-out synthetic scientific datasets from five domains, answered in open-ended form and checked against programmatically derived answers. The score is accuracy in percent; higher is better.
Metric: Accuracy (%) of open-ended answers on the held-out SDA-Synth test split (the 400 exploratory analysis instances; zero-shot, JSON reasoning and answer fields, the answer scored by relative-error numeric, exact or structured matching with a GPT-4o fallback judge); higher is better.
