# CoinFlip
## Overview
CoinFlip is a symbolic reasoning benchmark that tests LLMs' ability to track binary state changes through sequences of actions. Each problem involves determining a coin's final state (heads/tails) after various flipping operations.
## Task Description
- **Task Type**: Symbolic Reasoning / State Tracking
- **Input**: Description of coin flip operations by different people
- **Output**: Final coin state (YES for heads-up, NO for tails-up)
- **Focus**: Binary state tracking and logical inference
## Key Features
- Tests state tracking through action sequences
- Binary reasoning (flip/no-flip) decisions
- Requires careful attention to operator effects
- Evaluates systematic logical reasoning
- Clear, unambiguous answers
## Evaluation Notes
- Default configuration uses **0-shot** evaluation
- Answers should follow "ANSWER: YES/NO" format
- Five metrics: accuracy, precision, recall, F1, yes_ratio
- F1 score is the primary aggregation metric
- Supports few-shot evaluation with reasoning examples

## Usage
### Using CLI
```bash
evalscope eval \
--model YOUR_MODEL \
--api-url OPENAI_API_COMPAT_URL \
--api-key EMPTY_TOKEN \
--datasets coin_flip \
--limit 10 # Remove this line for formal evaluation
```
### Using Python
```python
from evalscope import run_task
from evalscope.config import TaskConfig
task_cfg = TaskConfig(
model='YOUR_MODEL',
api_url='OPENAI_API_COMPAT_URL',
api_key='EMPTY_TOKEN',
datasets=['coin_flip'],
limit=10, # Remove this line for formal evaluation
)
run_task(task_cfg=task_cfg)
```
