# tinyScienceQA

Pathfinder-generated 100-example tiny subset of the text-only ScienceQA test
split. This is intended for fast smoke tests and default small-sample Pathfinder
runs, not as an official ScienceQA benchmark replacement.

## Construction

- source dataset: `tasksource/ScienceQA_text_only`
- source split: `test`
- source rows: `2224`
- tiny rows: `100`
- seed: `20260511`
- selection strategy: `subject_answer_quota_topic_coverage_stable_hash`

The selector preserves subject/answer-cell proportions with exact integer
quotas, ensures topic coverage where quota constraints permit, and fills the
remaining slots by a deterministic stable hash. The resulting subset covers
`25` of `25` topics.

## Counts

Subject counts:

```json
{
  "language science": 47,
  "natural science": 46,
  "social science": 7
}
```

Answer counts:

```json
{
  "0": 44,
  "1": 43,
  "2": 9,
  "3": 4
}
```

The corresponding Pathfinder benchmark id is `scienceqa`, and the default tiny
dataset id is `PhilipQuirke/tinyScienceQA`.
