Competition-MATH

Overview

Competition-MATH is a comprehensive benchmark of 12,500 challenging competition mathematics problems collected from AMC, AIME, and other prestigious math competitions. It is designed to evaluate the advanced mathematical reasoning capabilities of language models.

Task Description

  • Task Type: Competition Mathematics Problem Solving
  • Input: Mathematical problem from competitions
  • Output: Step-by-step solution with final answer in \boxed{}
  • Difficulty Levels: Level 1 (easiest) to Level 5 (hardest)

Key Features

  • 12,500 problems from mathematics competitions
  • Five difficulty levels for comprehensive evaluation
  • Topics: Algebra, Counting & Probability, Geometry, Intermediate Algebra, Number Theory, Prealgebra, Precalculus
  • Each problem includes human-written solutions
  • Designed for evaluating advanced mathematical reasoning

Evaluation Notes

  • Default configuration uses 4-shot examples with Chain-of-Thought prompting
  • Answers are extracted from \boxed{} format
  • Numeric equivalence checking for answer comparison
  • Results can be analyzed by level and problem type
  • Uses math_parser for robust answer extraction

The last two digits, $52$, form a multiple of 4, so the number is divisible by $4$, and thus $2$. $1+4+5+2=12$, which is a multiple of $3$, so $1452$ is divisible by $3$.  Since it is divisible by $2$ and $3$, it is divisible by $6$.  But it is not divisible by $5$ as it does not end in $5$ or $0$.  So the total is $\\boxed{5}$.",

Usage

Using CLI

evalscope eval \
    --model YOUR_MODEL \
    --api-url OPENAI_API_COMPAT_URL \
    --api-key EMPTY_TOKEN \
    --datasets competition_math \
    --limit 10  # Remove this line for formal evaluation

Using 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=['competition_math'],
    dataset_args={
        'competition_math': {
            # subset_list: ['Level 1', 'Level 2', 'Level 3']  # optional, evaluate specific subsets
        }
    },
    limit=10,  # Remove this line for formal evaluation
)
