arXiv:2501.11790v5 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Recent studies have raised significant concerns regarding the reliability of current mathematics benchmarks, highlighting issues such as simplistic design and potential data contamination. Consequently, developing a reliable benchmark that effectively evaluates large language models' (LLMs) genuine capabilities in mathematical reasoning remains a critical challenge. To address these concerns, we propose RV-Bench, a novel evaluation methodology for Benchmarking LLMs with Random Variables in mathematical reasoning. Specifically, we build
The rapid advancement and deployment of large language models have brought their limitations in complex reasoning, particularly mathematics, into sharp focus, necessitating more robust evaluation methods.
Reliable benchmarking of LLM mathematical reasoning is crucial for progressing AI capabilities beyond mere pattern recognition to genuine understanding and problem-solving, impacting scientific, engineering, and financial applications.
The introduction of RV-Bench provides a novel and more rigorous methodology to evaluate LLMs, potentially leading to a clearer understanding of their true mathematical reasoning skills and driving further research into addressing identified weaknesses.
