The gsm-hard dataset contains some issues (negative number targets) #12

Correct me if I'm wrong, most of these problems should not have negative solutions, but I see over a hundred of negative target values. The gsm8k file only has 2 negative examples.

Thanks

Hi @Madd0g , Thank you for your interest in our work!

Your observation is correct. Since the GSM-Hard benchmark was created automatically, it may contain negative target values or "unnatural" positive values. Unfortunately, we do not have the resources to manually annotate all examples, so our assumption is that there is a penalty of 5%-10% drop in performance for all models and prompting approaches that are evaluated on this benchmark. Since this penalty is similar to all approaches, we believe that the relative comparison between different approaches is the right thing to measure.

Best, Uri
