PhysClosureBench — Complete 50-Case Materials
This collection provides the task specifications and complete case-specific grading materials for all 50 PhysClosureBench research tasks.
Each case directory contains task.md, grading_rubric.md, grading_rubric.json, resource_limits.json, and sources.md. The Markdown and JSON rubrics contain the same twenty half-point criteria, task-specific RC0–RC4 requirements, scientific dependencies, accepted equivalent evidence, and applicability conditions.
Task specifications, resource limits, and common submission requirements are agent inputs. Rubrics and scientific source references are evaluator materials and must not be supplied as task inputs.
Shared grading instructions, independent first-pass assessment, targeted review, focused adjudication, and output conventions are described in the accompanying paper's Appendix H. The machine-readable first-pass output schema is provided at grading/first_pass_output.schema.json. Research Closure is assessed separately from the additive atomic score; it is not a score cap or a score-based classification.
The source-publication index links all 50 cases to their source publications. Scientific reference locations are also given in each case's sources.md; source publications and their figures are not reproduced in this collection.
Resource limits
Each task has one resource_limits.json file. time_limit_minutes covers all candidate work, including planning, derivation, coding, computation, validation, interpretation, and final-file preparation. CPU cores specify the maximum allocation, not a prescribed numerical strategy. Network access is disabled. There is no separate aggregate CPU-hour ceiling.
temporary_storage_gib is temporary disk space, not RAM; 1 GiB equals 2^30 bytes. available_memory_gib, where provided, is an approximate RAM availability estimate, not an enforced limit. An unspecified task-specific RAM limit does not imply unlimited physical memory. Collection after the work deadline provides no additional working time.
Case index
The Hugging Face Dataset Viewer uses data/case_index.jsonl to display one row per task, with resource allocations and links to the complete materials. The test split contains the 50 task-index records, not model submissions or evaluation results. Rubric and source links are for evaluators; do not include them in candidate inputs.
