📋 Description

• Design complex, research-oriented benchmark tasks inspired by real-world scientific workflows, including study design, experimentation, hypothesis testing, and data analysis. • Develop comprehensive reference solutions using Python, notebooks, and computational tools with the rigor expected in professional research. • Define clear evaluation standards that distinguish sound scientific reasoning from plausible but incorrect conclusions. • Review AI-generated solutions, identifying methodological weaknesses, analytical errors, and flawed reasoning that experienced researchers would recognize immediately. • Collaborate with AI researchers and fellow domain experts to improve benchmark quality, consistency, and scientific rigor. • Contribute to the continuous refinement of evaluation methodologies for advanced AI systems.

🎯 Requirements
