{source_table(SOURCES)} ## Format `id: string`, `context: string`, `choices: list[string]`, `label: int64`. Labels are zero-based. Input is **`context + choices[i]`**, with exactly one ASCII space before each choice and no trailing context whitespace. PythonIO uses LF line endings, `Input: {{input}}\\nOutput:` contexts, and choices without outer trailing whitespace; code indentation and output-value whitespace are retained. HellaSwag uses context cleanup; TruthfulQA uses `Q: {{question}}\\nA:`. ## Evaluation No few-shot examples, chat template, CoT, or added BOS/EOS. - **acc:** choose the largest sum of continuation-token log-probabilities. - **acc_norm:** choose the largest mean **log-probability** per continuation token. Exclude context/padding; include boundary whitespace. Reject ambiguous token boundaries and overlength inputs. Break ties by first index. Report each split separately. This custom protocol is not HellaSwag character normalization, TruthfulQA MC2, or IRT. ## Provenance Each split selects 500 questions with `random.Random(42)`; OpenBookQA retains its full test set. ArithMark 3.0 excludes `time_session` prompts without duration information before sampling. Rows with fewer than four choices are excluded; larger sets keep the answer and three sampled incorrect choices. Source row/choice order is preserved. Full rules, hashes and indices: `manifest.json`; original inputs/cards: `sources/`; offline rebuild: `build.py`. Evaluation only, including upstream train splits.
