# BenNumEval: A Benchmark to Assess LLM’s Numerical Reasoning Capabilities in Bengali

**BenNumEval** is a novel benchmark designed to evaluate the numerical reasoning abilities of Large Language Models (LLMs) in the Bengali language. It introduces six diverse task categories and a high-quality dataset containing over 3,200 examples derived from educational and real-world sources.

## 📁 Dataset Overview

BenNumEval includes **3,255** curated examples divided into six task types:

| Task Type                      | Description                                                                 | Examples |
|-------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|----------|
| Commonsense + Arithmetic (CA) | Problems combining arithmetic with common-sense knowledge                   | 410      |
| Domain-Specific (DS)          | Problems requiring domain knowledge (e.g., physics, chemistry, CS)          | 705      |
| Commonsense + Quantitative (CQ) | Simple comparisons based on everyday logic                                 | 400      |
| Fill-in-the-Blanks (FiB)      | Arithmetic word problems in fill-in-the-blank style                         | 665      |
| Quantitative NLI (QNLI)       | Natural language inference involving numerical understanding                | 425      |
| Arithmetic Word Problems (AWP)| Real-world word problems requiring arithmetic reasoning                     | 650      |


# Code Snipet to Download the dataset

Install the datasets library if you've not installed yet.
```
pip install datasets
```

Then load the dataset

```python
from datasets import load_dataset

dataset = load_dataset("ka05ar/BenNumEval", 'CA') #for downloading Task1(CA) subset
```
