Dataset Card for CogniLoad Logic Puzzles

CogniLoad is a synthetic dataset specifically created for benchmarking logical reasoning in AI models. It consists of logic grid-style puzzles where the goal is uncover a hidden value from a sequence of logical statements.

Each puzzle is defined by:

• Initialisation statements: Setting up the initial state.
• Numbered instruction statements: Statements for the LLM to reason through.
• A question: The specific information to find.
• Solution: The correct answer to the question.

Puzzles are categorized by length (total number of statements), difficulty (a difficulty score), and needles (the count of critical, "needle-in-a-haystack" statements). A derived field, hays, represents the number of non-critical statements (num_statements - needles).

In our benchmark we start each puzzle with the instruction Solve this logic puzzle. You MUST finalize your response with a single sentence about the asked property (eg \"Peter is in the livingroom.\", \"Peter is wearing blue socks\",.. ). Solve the puzzle by reasoning through the statements in a strictly sequential order :. Following this instruction we list the intialisation statements, the instruction statements, and finally the question.

Besides the puzzles and parameters we also provide the metadata associated with each puzzle inside the dataset to empower further studies.

The dataset is provided in JSON Lines (JSONL) format, with separate files for puzzles of the lengths 20, 50, 100, and 250 (e.g., length_20.jsonl, length_50.jsonl).

How to use

The dataset can be loaded using the Hugging Face datasets library:

from datasets import load_dataset

# To load a specific split (e.g., puzzles of length 20)
dataset = load_dataset("dkfo/cogniload", name="length_20")

# To load all splits
dataset = load_dataset("dkfo/cogniload", name="all")

Example puzzle

This is an example puzzle with 20 statements, difficulty 5, and 10 needles.

Solve this logic puzzle. You MUST finalize your response with a single sentence about the asked property (eg "Peter is in the livingroom.", "Peter is wearing blue socks",.. ). Solve the puzzle by reasoning through the statements in a strictly sequential order :
