BenchFill

Four augmented mathematics evaluation benchmarks from Your Benchmark Is an Empirical Measure Over Difficulty (NeurIPS 2026), by Yifan Sun, Naicheng Yu, Jiawen Gong, Jingyan Shen, and Huan Zhang.

BenchFill generates new items to fill gaps in a benchmark's difficulty distribution. This release contains the original benchmark items followed by the curated generated items.

Why BenchFill?

BenchFill helps detect training gains that existing benchmarks miss. Filling gaps in benchmark difficulty makes localized improvements easier to observe. In the paper's SFT experiment, adding just one BenchFill question to each of three AIME benchmarks made training gains statistically detectable in all three cases; the original benchmarks and baseline augmentations detected none (Table 12).

How BenchFill works: training gains in a difficulty gap may be missed by the original benchmark; adding questions in that gap makes the gains easier to detect.

Subsets

All four configurations use the test split.

Configuration Original items Generated items Total Original JSON Hugging Face JSONL
AIME24 30 20 50 AIME24.json AIME24.jsonl
AIME25 30 22 52 AIME25.json AIME25.jsonl
AIME26 30 23 53 AIME26.json AIME26.jsonl

Total 130 105 235

Usage

from datasets import load_dataset

dataset = load_dataset("Yifan99/BenchFill", "AIME24", split="test")
# Other configurations: "AIME25", "AIME26", "AMC23"

original = dataset.filter(lambda row: "-origin-" in row["id"])
generated = dataset.filter(lambda row: "-fill-" in row["id"])

Data format

Each record has three fields:

  • id: question ID.
  • question: mathematics problem text.
  • answer: reference answer.

IDs use -origin- for original questions and -fill- for generated questions. Both JSON and JSONL files are provided; load_dataset uses JSONL.
