LEGOBench: leaderboard generation benchmark for scientific models

Abstract

The ever-increasing volume of paper submissions makes it difficult to stay informed about the latest state-of-the-art research. To address this challenge, we introduce LEGOBench, a benchmark for evaluating systems that generate leaderboards. LEGOBench is curated from 22 years of preprint submission data in arXiv and more than 11,000 machine learning leaderboards in the PapersWithCode portal. We evaluate the performance of four traditional graph-based ranking variants and three recently proposed large language models. Our preliminary results show significant performance gaps in automatic leaderboard generation. The code is available on this https URL and the dataset is hosted on this https URL .
