SDABench - Inferential (MCQ): leaderboard
SDABench (2026) inferential tasks, which evaluate a claim about a broader phenomenon from sampled measurements with quantified uncertainty, on held-out synthetic scientific datasets from five domains, posed as four-option multiple choice with perturbation-based distractors. The score is accuracy in percent, with 25 percent at chance; higher is better.
Metric: Accuracy (%) of four-option multiple-choice answers with perturbation-based distractors on the held-out SDA-Synth test split (the 400 inferential analysis instances; zero-shot; 25% chance); higher is better. Source: arxiv.org. Saturation forecast: Around February 2027. 13 models tracked.
