ClosureBench
ClosureBench is a controlled benchmark for evaluating if LLMs respect explicit semantic contracts about missing information. It tests whether models distinguish absence-as-unknown, absence-as-false, and absence-as-false-only-in-complete-scopes under explicit open-world, closed-world, and locally closed-world contracts.
The dataset includes the base benchmark and three extensions:
| Config | full rows |
Description |
|---|---|---|
base |
960 | Main OWA/CWA/LCWA benchmark with fixed facts, rules, and query across semantic variants. |
ask_act |
960 | Maps truth values to operational actions: approve, deny, or request_information. |
multi_agent |
360 | Tests whether a coordinator preserves source-scoped closure. |
dynamic_dialogue |
100 | Tests whether models update conclusions when complete predicates change across turns. |
Each config exposes four splits:
| Split | Meaning |
|---|---|
full |
Full split used for the paper's reported metrics. |
train |
Internal benchmark train partition. |
validation |
Internal benchmark development partition. |
test |
Internal benchmark test partition. |
Loading
from datasets import load_dataset
base = load_dataset("ML0037/ClosureBench", "base", split="full")
ask_act = load_dataset("ML0037/ClosureBench", "ask_act", split="full")
multi_agent = load_dataset("ML0037/ClosureBench", "multi_agent", split="full")
dynamic = load_dataset("ML0037/ClosureBench", "dynamic_dialogue", split="full")
For the held-out partition only:
base_test = load_dataset("ML0037/ClosureBench", "base", split="test")
Base Results
Values are three-run mean +/- sample standard deviation on the base config,
full split.
| Model | Semantic switch | Core switch | LCWA closed | LCWA open | Overall |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mistral Small | 55.73 +/- 2.43 | 27.60 +/- 3.65 | 31.60 +/- 4.34 | 31.25 +/- 1.80 | 80.38 +/- 1.02 |
| DeepSeek Flash | 81.25 +/- 0.83 | 68.75 +/- 1.38 | 49.65 +/- 3.18 | 100.00 +/- 0.00 | 90.31 +/- 0.47 |
| DeepSeek Pro | 86.46 +/- 0.18 | 77.43 +/- 0.30 | 62.15 +/- 1.20 | 100.00 +/- 0.00 | 93.61 +/- 0.21 |
| Mistral Medium | 87.08 +/- 0.65 | 78.47 +/- 1.09 | 56.95 +/- 2.17 | 100.00 +/- 0.00 | 95.59 +/- 0.37 |
| Llama Scout | 50.73 +/- 0.48 | 18.23 +/- 1.04 | 4.51 +/- 1.59 | 52.43 +/- 3.01 | 71.18 +/- 0.53 |
| Llama Maverick | 99.59 +/- 0.18 | 99.31 +/- 0.30 | 99.65 +/- 0.60 | 100.00 +/- 0.00 | 99.86 +/- 0.06 |
Semantic switch accuracy is the primary metric: a base scenario is correct only when all semantic variants of that scenario are answered correctly.
Result Artifacts
The results/scored/ directory contains final *_scored.jsonl files used to
compute reported metrics. Raw provider response dumps are intentionally not
included.
The results/reports/ directory contains JSON manifests and aggregate
summaries, including:
| File | Purpose |
|---|---|
results/reports/closurebench_replicate_summary.json |
Base benchmark three-run summary. |
results/reports/closurebench_replicate_manifest.json |
Base benchmark scored-run manifest. |
results/reports/closurebench_model_comparison.json |
Single-run base comparison. |
results/reports/closurebench_ask_act_summary.json |
Ask/Act extension summary. |
results/reports/closurebench_multi_agent_summary.json |
Multi-Agent extension summary. |
results/reports/closurebench_dynamic_dialogue_summary.json |
Dynamic Dialogue extension summary. |
Data Fields
Common fields include:
id: item identifier.base_id: contrastive scenario identifier.split: original benchmark partition (train,dev, ortest).domain,family,subset: item grouping metadata.semantics: semantic contract for base-style items (owa,cwa,lcwa).closed_predicates: predicates declared complete for the item.facts_positive,facts_negative,rules_natural: natural-language KB.symbolic: symbolic atoms, rules, query atom, and closure atoms.prompt: exact prompt used for evaluation.gold_answer,gold_truth_value, or extension-specific gold fields.
Extension configs add task-specific fields, such as gold_action for Ask/Act,
gold_source_used for Multi-Agent, and turn-level gold labels for Dynamic
Dialogue.
Limitations
ClosureBench is a targeted diagnostic benchmark. It isolates closure-contract compliance under controlled prompts but it is not a broad measure of general agent performance, factual knowledge, or end-to-end tool-use reliability.
