LiveOIBench Contestants

LiveOIBnehch consists of 403 coding problems collected directly from the official websites of 72 competitions across 14 renowned Informatics Olympiads, focusing on contests held from 2023 onward. We collect all the offical test cases, human contestant ranking results, and contestant Codeforces profiles.

Please refer to the paper for more details and the leaderboard for the most up-to-date models' performance.

Usage

Please see this Github repository for downloading and processing the dataset.

Files

• data/contest_results.parquet – contest‑level table containing medal thresholds and participant rankings.

Schema

Each row in contest_results.parquet has the following fields:

• contest_id: Identifier for the contest, typically of the form <COMPETITION>-<YEAR>-<ROUND>.
• gold_cutoff: Lowest total score that received a gold medal in this contest.
• silver_cutoff: Lowest total score that received a silver medal.
• bronze_cutoff: Lowest total score that received a bronze medal.
• division: Division label for the contest (for example "Division 1", "Division 2"), when applicable.
• contestants_ranking: JSON‑encoded list of per‑contestant records. Each record contains ranking information such as:
  • Rank (integer rank within the contest).
  • Contestant (name or identifier).
  • Country (country or team).
  • Per‑problem scores (one column per problem code).
  • Total (aggregate contest score).
  • Medal (medal type or participation status).
  • CF_Rating (optional external rating when available).
• date: Contest date.
• num_contestants: Number of contestants included in the ranking for that contest.
• problems: JSON‑encoded list of problem identifiers appearing in the contest, typically matching problem_id values from LiveOIBench.
