Scientific Benchmark

Scientific benchmarks are standardized tests designed to evaluate the performance of algorithms and models, particularly in artificial intelligence and scientific computing. Current research focuses on developing benchmarks for diverse tasks, including natural language processing (e.g., evaluating large language models' understanding of scientific concepts), climate prediction (assessing the accuracy of subseasonal-to-seasonal forecasts), and physical reasoning (measuring models' ability to solve physics problems). These benchmarks are crucial for objectively comparing different approaches, identifying areas for improvement, and driving progress in various scientific fields and practical applications, such as improving AI-driven decision-making in climate change mitigation or accelerating scientific discovery.
