Advanced Reasoning Benchmark: Gauging the Reasoning Skills of Large Language Models

Unfurling a significant step in evaluating the reasoning prowess of Large Language Models (LLMs), researchers have recently unveiled the Advanced Reasoning Benchmark (ARB). This pioneering initiative has the capacity to challenge and ultimately enhance our understanding of AI reasoning capabilities.

The ARB is essentially a gauntlet of challenging problems drawn from various disciplines such as mathematics, physics, biology, chemistry, and law. The sources of these tests are high-stakes exams and professional resources, ensuring the benchmarks are authentically rigorous.

Interestingly, even advanced models, including the highly-touted GPT-4, are finding these rigorous tasks hard to surmount. To help LLMs get a grip on these hurdles, researchers have introduced a rubric-based self-assessment approach. This allows LLMs to self-analyze their reasoning processes, adding another layer to the learning experience.

But what is the grand vision of the ARB? It seeks to stimulate progress in the reasoning capabilities of LLMs and foster more reliable evaluations of complex model outputs.

As we progress in this era of AI, what are your thoughts on when we might achieve human-like reasoning skills in AI models? We’re keen to hear your insights!
