Dataset Card for "Calc-gsm8k"

Summary

This dataset is an instance of gsm8k dataset, converted to a simple html-like language that can be easily parsed (e.g. by BeautifulSoup). The data contains 3 types of tags:

gadget: A tag whose content is intended to be evaluated by calling an external tool (sympy-based calculator in this case)
output: An output of the external tool
result: The final answer to the mathematical problem (a number)

Supported Tasks

The dataset is intended for training Chain-of-Thought reasoning models able to use external tools to enhance the factuality of their responses. This dataset presents in-context scenarios where models can outsource the computations in the reasoning chain to a calculator.

Construction Process

The answers in the original dataset were in a structured but non-standard format. So, the answers were parsed, all arithmetical expressions were evaluated using a sympy-based calculator, the outputs were checked to be consistent with the intermediate results and exported into a simple html-like language that BeautifulSoup can parse.

We also perform in-dataset and cross-dataset data-leak detection within the Calc-X collection However, in case of gsm8k, we found no data leaks and removed no examples from the data.

Content and Data splits

For convenience, we created a validation set by sampling 200 random examples from the original train split. This is the default variant:

datasets.load_dataset("MU-NLPC/Calc-gsm8k")

The original data splits can be loaded using:

datasets.load_dataset("MU-NLPC/Calc-gsm8k", "original-splits")

For more info about the content of the dataset, see gsm8k HF dataset and the official repository.

Related work

This dataset was created as a part of a larger effort in training models capable of using a calculator during inference, which we call Calcformers.
