+ # Dataset Card for Dataset Name
58
+
59
+ This dataset, RegexPSPACE, is a new benchmark of PSPACE-complete regex problems designed to evaluate the complex reasoning capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs).
60
+
61
+ ## 1. Dataset Details
62
+
63
+ #### Dataset Description
64
+
65
+ RegexPSPACE is the first benchmark designed to evaluate the reasoning capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs) on PSPACE-complete regular expression (regex) problems.
66
+ The benchmark is grounded in two specific PSPACE-complete tasks: equivalence decision (RegexEQ) and minimization (RegexMin).
67
+
68
+ The dataset was constructed through a rigorous process of double-exponential space exploration and a sound filtering process, curating 1,685 challenging problems from over a million initial instances.
69
+ This research provides the first empirical investigation into the spatial computational limitations of LLMs, offering a new framework for evaluating their advanced reasoning capabilities.

80
+ ## 2. Uses
81
+
82
+ #### Direct Use
83
+
84
+ The primary intended use of RegexPSPACE is for benchmarking the reasoning abilities of AI models, particularly Large Language Models (LLMs) and Large Reasoning Models (LRMs).
85
+ It is designed for researchers and developers to:
86
+
87
+ - Evaluate model performance on tasks requiring high spatial and computational complexity.
88
+ - Analyze failure patterns in complex, formal reasoning scenarios.
89
+ - Study the scaling effects of model size on advanced reasoning capabilities.
90
+
91
+ ## 3. Dataset Structure
92
+
93
+ The dataset is divided into a test split and a fewshot split.
94
+ Since we plan to release the larger initial dataset separately, we constructed this benchmark by preserving its original data splits.
95
+ The test split, intended for benchmarking, was derived from the original test set. The fewshot split was sourced from the original train set.
96
+ Each instance contains a challenging regex problem and its associated ground-truth solutions for different tasks.
97
+
98
+ The following describes the features of the dataset.
99
+
100
+ - ```idx``` (int64): A unique identifier for the data instance.
101
+ - ```query``` (string): The input regular expression for the primary task.
102
+ - ```tree_length``` (int64): The length of the syntax tree for the query regex.
103
+ - ```depth``` (int64): The depth of the syntax tree for the query regex.
104
+ - ```minimized_regex``` (string): The ground-truth solution for the minimization task.
105
+ - ```minimized_tree_length``` (int64): The tree length of the minimized_regex.
106
+ - ```minimized_depth``` (int64): The tree depth of the minimized_regex.
107
+ - ```equivalent_regex``` (string): A distinct but semantically equivalent regex, used for the equivalence task.
108
+ - ```not_equivalent_regex``` (string): A non-equivalent regex, used for the equivalence task.
109
+ - ```positive_example``` (string): A string that matches the query regex.
110
+ - ```negative_example``` (string): A string that does not match the query regex.
111
+
112
+ ## 4. Dataset Creation
113
+
114
+ #### Curation Rationale
115
+
116
+ The dataset was created to fill a gap in LLM evaluation by providing a benchmark that specifically targets the spatial complexity and reasoning limits of models.
117
+ Existing benchmarks often focus on knowledge or linguistic capabilities, whereas RegexPSPACE uses the formal, high-complexity nature of PSPACE-complete problems to probe the deeper computational reasoning of LLMs.
118
+
119
+ #### Data Collection and Processing
120
+
121
+ The data is entirely synthetically generated.
122
+ The process began with over a million initial regex instances.
123
+ These instances were subjected to a double-exponential space exploration and a sound filtering process to select for problems that are both challenging and unambiguous.
124
+ This ensures a high-quality evaluation set.
125
+
126
+ #### Who are the source data producers?
127
+
128
+ The source data was generated by a computational process designed by the dataset curators: Hyundong Jin.
129
+
130
+ #### Annotations
131
+
132
+ This dataset does not contain human annotations.
133
+ The target fields (e.g., minimized_regex) are ground-truth solutions generated and verified by the same computational process that created the problems.
134
+
135
+ #### Personal and Sensitive Information
136
+
137
+ The dataset contains no personal, private, or sensitive information. All data is synthetically generated and pertains to abstract mathematical and computational concepts.

+ ## 6. Glossary
160
+
161
+ - PSPACE-complete: A class of computational problems that are the "hardest" problems in the PSPACE complexity class. These problems require a polynomial amount of memory to solve.
162
+
163
+ - RegexMin (Minimization): The task of finding the shortest possible regular expression that is semantically equivalent to a given regex.
164
+
165
+ - RegexEQ (Equivalence): The task of determining whether two different regular expressions describe the same set of strings.
