Office Comprehension Benchmark

arXiv cs.CL Papers

Summary

Introduces Office Comprehension Bench (OCB), the first public benchmark to jointly evaluate LLM systems on Word, Excel, and PowerPoint comprehension over native file formats, covering structural perception and expert-level reasoning across 12 domains.

arXiv:2607.01245v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We introduce Office Comprehension Bench (OCB), the first public benchmark to jointly evaluate LLM systems on Word, Excel, and PowerPoint comprehension over native file formats (.docx, .xlsx, .pptx) and their variants. OCB consists of two tracks. File Fidelity Q&A tests structural and visual perception of office artifacts - tables, charts, embedded images, formulas, and app-specific elements such as headers, speaker notes, and named ranges. Domain Q&A tests expert-level reasoning grounded in real-world industry documents across 12 professional domains, with queries requiring multi-step analysis and synthesis across documents. Each reference answer is decomposed into atomic, binary-gradable claims, and an ensemble of LLM judges scores responses against each claim independently. Even the strongest frontier system in its default reasoning mode reaches only about 59.3% on Domain Q&A; increasing thinking depth within a tier does not move performance materially, while moving to a higher product tier yields modest gains. We release the dataset, evaluation tooling, judge prompt, and a public leaderboard.

BBOWP-Bench: Evaluating LLMs on Black-Box Optimization Word Problems

arXiv cs.CL

Introduces BBOWP-Bench, a benchmark suite for evaluating LLMs on black-box optimization word problems, where systems must infer both a search space and an optimization algorithm from natural-language descriptions. Initial results show LLMs can select suitable algorithms but struggle with search space design.
