Classification

Summary

Current language models (LMs) excel at reasoning over prompts using pre-trained knowledge. However, real-world tasks are far more complex and context-dependent: models must learn from task-specific context and leverage new knowledge beyond what is learned during pre-training to reason and resolve tasks. We term this capability context learning, a crucial ability that humans naturally possess but has been largely overlooked. To this end, we introduce CL-bench, a real-world benchmark consisting of 500 complex context…

How to turn agent behavior into measurable tasks, success criteria, and repeatable benchmark environments.

Public Handling Notes

  • EXTRACTED: Metadata and links are from public sources.
  • INFERRED: Unclear-license full text, PDFs, and source code should not be mirrored into public wiki pages.
  • AMBIGUOUS: Items discovered by keyword search are still separated by source identity and category heuristics.
