Grade-School Math with Irrelevant Context (GSM-IC)

This repository contains the dataset Grade-School Math with Irrelevant Context (GSM-IC) used in this paper: Large Language Models Can Be Easily Distracted by Irrelevant Context.

Data Format

• GSM8K_validation.jsonl: the development split of GSM8K dataset used in the experiments.

Field name	Value
question	Input question.
answer	The ground truth answer.
n_steps	The number of intermediate steps to calculate the answer.

• GSM-IC_2step.json: GSM-IC split with problems that require 2 intermediate steps.

Field name	Value
original_question	Original question from the GSM8K development set.
new_question	The new question with irrelevant context added to the original question.
answer	The ground truth answer.
n_steps	The number of intermediate steps to calculate the answer.
role_label, number_label, sentence_label	Categories of the added irrelevant context. Needed for result analysis, not needed for model prediction.
role, number, sentence_template	Added irrelevant context. Not needed for experiments.

• GSM-IC_mstep.json: GSM-IC split with problems that require more than 2 intermediate steps. Same format as GSM-IC_2step.json.
