A curated subset of the APPS dataset (Hendrycks et al., NeurIPS 2021), pre-filtered for use in the ARENA AI Control chapter — a teaching replication of Greenblatt et al. 2023 (arXiv:2312.06942).
cleaned_apps.jsonl — 1,202 problems from the APPS "interview" split, filtered to a uniform I/O schema (inputs and outputs are each one of list[str], list[int], list[list[str]], list[list[int]]). Each line is a JSON record with the original APPS fields plus two added fields:input_type — one of "list of strings", "list of integers", "list of lists of strings", "list of lists of integers"output_type — same vocabularyThe filtering removes problems whose original I/O was strings-with-embedded-newlines (which broke the chapter's main(input) function-call interface).
The original APPS dataset has inputs as raw stdin strings, which doesn't play nicely with the inspect_ai sandbox calling main(input) directly. This filtered subset lets every problem be solved by a function def main(input: list[str]) -> list[str]: ... without per-problem dispatch on the input shape.
