# ReplicationBench
**arXiv**: [ReplicationBench: Can AI Agents Replicate Astrophysics Research Papers?](https://arxiv.org/abs/2510.24591)

**GitHub**: [https://github.com/Christine8888/replicationbench-release](https://github.com/Christine8888/replicationbench-release)

## Dataset Description

The ReplicationBench dataset contains 111 astrophysics research replication tasks, spanning complete replications of 20 research papers. The dataset includes:
- Original and masked manuscript text
- Metadata (title, abstract, publication info, etc.)
- Pointers to datasets and dataset access instructions
- Additional specifications from the authors
- Execution requirements
- Detailed descriptions and grading guidelines for each task

## Usage

```python
from datasets import load_dataset

# Load papers
papers_ds = load_dataset("ChristineYe8/replicationbench", split="papers")

# Load tasks
tasks_ds = load_dataset("ChristineYe8/replicationbench", split="tasks")
```

You can load the dataset from HuggingFace into native ReplicationBench format using [this script](https://github.com/Christine8888/replicationbench-release/blob/main/src/dataset/hf/load_from_hf.py). However, if using RB's native formats, we recommend using the native data loading instead, described [here](https://github.com/Christine8888/replicationbench-release).
