STAGE - Cross-Scene Reasoning (Hybrid RAG): leaderboard

STAGE (Tian et al., 2026) Task II: 5,010 questions about how characters' situations, knowledge and relationships change across scenes of 151 English and Chinese film screenplays, answered from scenes fetched by combined dense and lexical retrieval. Pass@5 is the percentage of questions where at least one of five generations (temperature 0.2) is judged correct by DeepSeek-V4-Pro against the reference answer; higher is better.

Metric: Pass@5 (%; any of five generations judged correct, hybrid dense+lexical retrieval). Source: arxiv.org. Saturation forecast: Around September 2027. 8 models tracked.
