Recent powerful pre-trained language models have achieved remarkable performance on most of the popular datasets for reading comprehension. It is time to introduce more challenging datasets to push the development of this field towards more comprehensive reasoning of text. In this paper, we introduce a new Reading Comprehension dataset requiring logical reasoning (ReClor) extracted from standardized graduate admission examinations. As earlier studies suggest, human-annotated datasets usually contain biases, which are often exploited by models to achieve high accuracy without truly understanding the text. In order to comprehensively evaluate the logical reasoning ability of models on ReClor, we propose to identify biased data points and separate them into EASY set while the rest as HARD set. Empirical results show that state-of-the-art models have an outstanding ability to capture biases contained in the dataset with high accuracy on EASY set. However, they struggle on HARD set with poor performance near that of random guess, indicating more research is needed to essentially enhance the logical reasoning ability of current models.

  1. KRISTEVA: Close Reading as a Novel Task for Benchmarking Interpretive Reasoning

    cs.CL 2025-05 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    KRISTEVA is the first close reading benchmark for large language models, and current models still underperform experienced human readers on 10 of its 11 tasks.

  2. Length Penalties Make Chain-of-Thought Less Monitorable

    cs.AI 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.5 of 10

    Length-penalized RL shortens chain-of-thought while preserving accuracy and hint influence, but preferentially removes the cues that let a monitor detect that influence.

  3. From Atomic Evidence to Logical Composition: Structured Compositional Reasoning over Compound Answer Options

    cs.CL 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A decomposition-plus-ILP framework with contrastive atomic scoring and relative calibration substantially improves LLM accuracy on compound answer options, with the largest gains on NEITHER/NOR.

  4. JustLogic: A Comprehensive Benchmark for Evaluating Deductive Reasoning in Large Language Models

    cs.CL 2025-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    JustLogic, a synthetic benchmark with high linguistic and argument complexity, shows most LLMs underperform the average human in pure deductive reasoning.

  5. BRoverbs -- Measuring how much LLMs understand Portuguese proverbs

    cs.CL 2025-09 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    BRoverbs lets researchers test whether language models understand Portuguese proverbs; commercial models nearly master it, small models often guess randomly.

  6. Dynamic Chunking and Selection for Reading Comprehension of Ultra-Long Context in Large Language Models

    cs.CL 2025-06 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Dynamic chunking plus question-aware chunk selection improves long-context QA, but the headline numbers are partly inflated by choosing hyperparameters on the test benchmarks.

  7. Thinking About Thinking: SAGE-nano's Inverse Reasoning for Self-Aware Language Models

    cs.AI 2025-06 reject novelty 3.0 of 10

    A 4B-parameter model is claimed to explain its own reasoning through inverse attention analysis, but the paper offers no consistent evidence or artifacts.
