RuleTrek: Benchmarking Agentic Rule Reasoning in Complex Scenarios

Hugging Face Daily Papers Papers

Summary

RuleTrek 是一个多领域基准,用于评估大模型智能体在复杂多文件场景中识别、推断和应用领域规则的能力。实验显示11个前沿LLM在端到端规则推理上仅得26.97%-55.29%,暴露了显著的能力差距。

Large language models (LLMs) increasingly tackle complex real-world tasks in specialized domains. However, identifying and correctly applying domain-specific rules remains challenging when scenario information is distributed across multiple files. Existing rule-reasoning benchmarks typically represent scenarios using only a few factual statements, simplifying the identification and application of relevant rules. To address this gap, this paper introduces RuleTrek, a multi-domain benchmark for agentic rule reasoning in complex scenarios. Its rule-grounded construction pipeline extracts structured rule graphs, generates and incrementally composes rule-specific sub-scenarios while ensuring consistency and solvability. To systematically evaluate agentic rule reasoning in complex scenarios, RuleTrek assesses three capabilities in interactive workspaces: Rule Identification (RI), Rule Deduction (RD), and End-to-End Rule Reasoning (E2E). Experiments on 11 frontier LLMs show that the highest RI and RD scores are only 62.47\% and 60.43\%, respectively, while E2E scores range from 26.97\% to 55.29\%.

Abstract

RuleTrek is a multi-domain benchmark that evaluates large language model agents on identifying, deducing, and applying domain-specific rules across complex, multi-file scenarios, revealing substantial performance gaps.

Large language models (LLMs) increasingly tackle complex real-world tasks in specialized domains. However, identifying and correctly applying domain-specific rules remains challenging when scenario information is distributed across multiple files. Existing rule-reasoning benchmarks typically represent scenarios using only a few factual statements, simplifying the identification and application of relevant rules. To address this gap, this paper introducesRuleTrek, a multi-domain benchmark for agentic rule reasoning in complex scenarios. Itsrule-grounded constructionpipeline extractsstructured rule graphs, generates and incrementally composesrule-specific sub-scenarioswhile ensuring consistency and solvability. To systematically evaluate agentic rule reasoning in complex scenarios,RuleTrekassesses three capabilities in interactive workspaces:Rule Identification(RI),Rule Deduction(RD), andEnd-to-End Rule Reasoning(E2E). Experiments on 11 frontier LLMs show that the highest RI and RD scores are only 62.47\% and 60.43\%, respectively, while E2E scores range from 26.97\% to 55.29\%. These results demonstrate that currentLLM agentsface substantial challenges in rule reasoning over complex scenarios.

FALSIFYBENCH: Evaluating Inductive Reasoning in LLMs with Rule Discovery Games

arXiv cs.AI

FalsifyBench is a new evaluation framework for assessing inductive reasoning in LLMs, inspired by the Wason 2-4-6 task, where agents discover hidden semantic rules by proposing examples and receiving feedback. Evaluation of 12 LLMs shows reasoning models outperform instruction-tuned models, with negative testing (hypothesis falsification) being the key driver of success.
