TactLM Math Reasoning Data

The questions used to train and evaluate TactLM Math ProcessGRPO. The release has two subsets: the filtered training pool and its holdouts, and a separate generated test of multi-step arithmetic. Each row has a final answer. The step-credit rewards were computed during training and are not labels in this dataset.

Subset	Split	Problems	Purpose
`curated`	`train`	8,478	GRPO training
`curated`	`validation`	380	Checkpoint selection
`curated`	`test`	510	Held-out evaluation
`fresh-multistep`	`test`	700	Chained-operation evaluation

How the questions were selected

The curated subset draws from the training splits of MATH, GSM8K, and selected sources in NuminaMath-CoT, plus problems made by this project's dependency-graph generator. The pipeline kept questions with a single numeric answer, removed duplicates and questions requiring figures, and screened for overlap with evaluation sets using digit-masked 13-grams. It then selected questions the starting Qwen2.5-0.5B-Instruct model answered correctly in 1–7 of 8 attempts. A blind solver checked each retained source answer; disagreements were sent to a second solver. The pool was split by topic, and the training split was capped so no topic dominated it. A separate 200-question hand audit found no wrong answer keys.

The generated rows are an exception to the solvability filter: they have source: generated and hits: null. There are 847 in train and 40 in validation. They require 2–4 chained operations and include a distractor sentence.

The fresh-multistep test was generated after training with an unused seed. It contains 100 questions at each depth from 2 through 8 operations. The generator constructs an arithmetic dependency graph, computes the answer from it, and writes the question in English. These questions were used for the published model's evaluation, so future work should not treat this public release as a new blind test.

Fields

curated rows have id, problem, answer, source, subject, topic, and hits. answer is a numeric string, sometimes a fraction. hits is the starting model's correct count out of eight attempts; it is null for generated rows. subject is populated for MATH rows. The test split is the exact 510-question set used by the evaluation harness.

fresh-multistep rows have id, problem, answer, and ops. ops is the number of arithmetic operations in the generated solution graph. The released file uses the generator's fixed seed 20261024.

Limits and provenance

This set was chosen for one small model's training run, not as a general math benchmark. The solvability band excludes questions that model never solved. Topic tags and answer checks were model-assisted; the 200-question audit is a sample, not a guarantee that every key is correct. The generated questions follow templates and should not be mistaken for independent human-written problems. The held-out and fresh sets are now disclosed alongside the training data; report comparisons against them with that context.

Questions from upstream datasets retain their original source in the source field. Licensing and citations are listed in SOURCE-LICENSES.md. The dataset combines MIT-licensed and Apache-2.0-licensed sources; the license tags above describe the respective source material, not a replacement license for every row.
