These researchers used NPR Sunday Puzzle questions to benchmark AI ‘reasoning’ models
Researchers used questions from the NPR Sunday Puzzle challenge to build a benchmark to test AI 'reasoning' models.
“We wanted to develop a benchmark with problems that humans can understand with only general knowledge,” Arjun Guha, a computer science faculty member at Northeastern and one of the co-authors on the study, told TechCrunch. Most of the tests commonly used to evaluate AI models probe for skills, like competency on PhD-level math and science questions, that aren’t relevant to the average user. The advantages of a public radio quiz game like the Sunday Puzzle is that it doesn’t test for esoteric knowledge, and the challenges are phrased such that models can’t draw on “rote memory” to solve them, explained Guha.
