Research: What are some examples of tasks included in the GAIA benchmark? (Answer from Perplexity)

Agentic benchmark research continued...

The GAIA benchmark includes tasks designed to evaluate AI systems across diverse real-world scenarios. Here are examples of tasks included:

  1. Web Browsing and Information Retrieval:

    • Questions requiring AI systems to search for specific information online, such as identifying details from academic papers or extracting data from websites156.

  2. Multi-Modal Reasoning:

    • Tasks involving the interpretation and integration of text, images, spreadsheets, or videos, such as analyzing figures in scientific papers or solving visual puzzles156.

  3. Tool Usage:

    • Challenges requiring the use of tools like code interpreters, calculators, or spreadsheet processors to perform data analysis or solve complex problems56.

  4. Complex Reasoning and Planning:

    • Multi-step reasoning tasks that demand logical deduction and strategic thinking, such as answering questions based on historical data or planning solutions for hypothetical scenarios15.

  5. File Handling Across Formats:

    • Manipulating and analyzing files in various formats (e.g., Excel sheets, PDFs) to extract relevant insights5.

These tasks are conceptually simple for humans but challenging for AI systems, highlighting gaps in reasoning, adaptability, and tool proficiency.
