Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated remarkable performance on
various quantitative reasoning and knowledge benchmarks. However, many of these
benchmarks are losing utility as LLMs get increasingly high scores, despite not
yet reaching expert performance in these domains. We introduce ARB, a novel
benchmark composed of advanced reasoning problems in multiple fields. ARB
presents a more challenging test than prior benchmarks, featuring problems in
mathematics, physics, biology, chemistry, and law. As a subset of ARB, we
introduce a challenging set of math and physics problems which require advanced
symbolic reasoning and domain knowledge. We evaluate recent models such as
GPT-4 and Claude on ARB and demonstrate that current models score well below
50% on more demanding tasks. In order to improve both automatic and assisted
evaluation capabilities, we introduce a rubric-based evaluation approach,
allowing GPT-4 to score its own intermediate reasoning steps. Further, we
conduct a human evaluation of the symbolic subset of ARB, finding promising
agreement between annotators and GPT-4 rubric evaluation scores.
