Benchmarking-Cultures-25 Dataset

This dataset accompanies the Unsteady Metrics and Benchmarking Cultures of AI Model Builders paper submitted to FAccT 2026 by Stefan Baack, Christo Buschek and Maty Bohacek.

The dataset contains the following parts:

core: The curated Benchmarking-Cultures-25 dataset.
derived: Datasets that were derived from the core dataset and informed the FAccT submission.
figures: Figures generated from derived data and used in the paper.
docs: Data dictionaries describing the core data files.
code: Scripts used for the automated parts of the data curation.

Additionally, an interactive UI is available at https://bench-cultures.net, where the data can introspected.

Data curation

The data was collected with the following process. All steps were done manually unless otherwise noted.

Based on the scope of our study, we included 11 model publishers (see Section 3 of the paper for selection methodology). Each entity was manually profiled through desk research to determine geographic headquarters, primary domain, and institutional affiliation.
We monitored official corporate blogs, technical reports, and primary dissemination channels (Hacker News) to identify new model releases. A benchmark was recorded as "explicitly highlighted" only if it met a strict evidence threshold: it must be cited by name with associated performance metrics presented in a primary table or figure.
New benchmarks were integrated into a master table. For existing benchmarks, we recorded incremental highlights.
For every identified benchmark, we isolated and recorded the authoritative primary source (typically, a peer-reviewed paper or arXiv pre-print). We explicitly noted cases where benchmarks (e.g., specific math competitions) lacked traditional academic release papers to maintain data transparency.
We fetched the list of authors from the ArXiv API for every paper that was found on ArXiv using an automated script, which is included in this repository. We extracted the list of all authors for every benchmark from these API responses. For the papers that were not published on ArXiv we manually extracted the authors from their respective papers and added them to the list as well.
To focus our analysis on those driving the research agenda and benchmark production, we isolated core contributors, manually excluding broad-scale technical staff or distal advisors where such distinctions were explicitly noted in the source acknowledgments.
For every author we extracted the affiliation as stated in the paper and associated the institution with a country, a domain and one of five sectors based on desk research. This step was skipped if no clear affiliation could be determined on the paper alone.
In a final qualitative pass, we conducted a close reading of the authoritative papers to develop an inductive taxonomy of competencies. Benchmarks were mapped to one or more categories based strictly on the claims of the original authors regarding what the metric is intended to evaluate.

Quality Assurance

To ensure the computational integrity of all rankings, statistics, and visualizations, we implemented a blind cross-verification protocol. Independent team members were tasked with reimplementing the data transformation/analysis scripts using only the data in the core folder.

This replication process ensures that the artifacts in the derived folder are fully reproducible and free from errors. A final parity audit is underway to ensure a complete alignment between the internal and public release version.

`code` scripts

The three scripts were used to automatically fetch and extract paper metadata and author information from ArXiv. They are meant to be run sequentially and are designed to fit into our larger data collection/annotation process.

`get-arxiv-paper-metadata.sh`

Given a list of ArXiv paper IDs (inputs/benchmarks/raw/arxiv-ids.txt), fetch the metadata for every id and store the XML API response in a file. The output path is currently hardcoded to inputs/benchmarks/raw/arxiv-metadata.

bash get-arxiv-paper-metadata.sh

`arxiv-metadata.R`

Read the list of XML files that were fetched from the ArXiv API and extract the metadata into a CSV file. The CSV contains the id, the link to the paper on ArXiv, the timestamp when the it was published, the timestamp when it was last updated and the number of versions for this paper.

Rscript code/arxiv-metadata.R -i inputs/benchmarks/raw/arxiv-metadata -o inputs/benchmarks/raw/papers.csv

`arxiv-metadata-by-authors.R`

Extract the names of authors for every paper. This script was designed to run incrementally, so it merges the extracted information with data that was already manually annotated (e.g. institutional affiliation).

Rscript code/arxiv-metadata-by-authors.R -i inputs/benchmarks/raw/arxiv-metadata -o inputs/benchmarks/raw/authors.csv
