1. **[Mapping global dynamics of benchmark creation and saturation in artificial intelligence](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/ott-2022-mapping-global-dynamics-benchmark-creation/)** *(2022 · 93 citations)* Benchmarks not only measure progress in AI but also set its direction. At the same time, many of them quickly reach saturation or are barely used. The authors proposed a way to concisely map the emergence, use, and saturation of benchmarks across entire fields. To do this, they took a Papers With Code dump and built…
2. **[ThoughtSource: A central hub for large language model reasoning data](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/ott-2023-thoughtsource-central-hub-large-language/)** *(2023 · 68 citations)* Large language models often stumble on multi-step reasoning, and their decision process is hard to inspect.
