Solving Is Not Drawing: A Benchmark for Diagrammatic Reasoning in Olympiad Geometry

The paper introduces a new benchmark for diagrammatic reasoning in olympiad geometry, comprising 954 self‑contained problems and a 297‑problem hard subset. Each problem is paired with a human‑authored, high‑fidelity diagram in Asymptote code and a suite of metrics for evaluating diagram construction. Experiments show that current foundation models excel at solving the problems but produce markedly less faithful diagrams, with an average compile success rate of only 36.14%.

SCAFFOLD: A Large-Scale Structured Dataset of Computer Science Research Figures with Diagram QA and Chain-of-Thought Reasoning Traces

SCAFFOLD is a large-scale structured dataset of computer science research figures, each paired with captions, context, questions, answers, and chain-of-thought reasoning traces. It contains 157,387 figure–question pairs from 3,058 arXiv papers, with subsets of 36,797 and 12,000 pairs for medium and small-scale use. The dataset was created using layout detection, PDF parsing, and AI-assisted question generation, and was used to benchmark a vision‑language model (Qwen2.5‑VL‑3B‑Instruct).

HakushoBench: A Japanese Chart and Table VQA Benchmark from Governmental White Papers

HakushoBench is a Japanese chart and table visual question answering benchmark created from 33 governmental white papers, comprising 2,053 images across more than ten types. The dataset includes manually annotated and independently verified QA pairs that evaluate holistic understanding of charts and tables rather than just local visual cues. Experiments show that HakushoBench is significantly harder than existing Japanese benchmarks, with sub‑10B open‑weight models achieving at most 58.6% accuracy and even large models like Qwen3.5-397B-A17B lagging behind Gemini‑3‑Pro by 8.1 points.
