This experiment tests the Jev model's ability to answer university-level computational math problems.
It contains 5 samples, all authored rather than taken from any dataset: 2 on calculus, 2 on linear algebra, and 1 on probability.
The five problems (state):
- Evaluate the definite integral ∫₀¹ x·eˣ dx.
- Evaluate the definite integral ∫₀^{π/2} sin²x dx.
- Compute the determinant of the matrix A = [[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6], [7, 8, 10]].
- Find the largest eigenvalue of the matrix [[2, 1], [1, 2]].
- Let the random variable X follow an exponential distribution with parameter 1, i.e. density f(x) = e⁻ˣ (x > 0). Compute the conditional probability P(X > 2 | X > 1).
Each sample answers two kinds of questions.
First kind: What is the answer to this problem? Choose one of four. (answer, choice)
| Problem | A | B | C | D | Correct answer |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | e - 1 |

Second kind: Is the answer to this problem equal to this option? (is_A, is_B, is_C, is_D, noul) Each of the four options is asked once, and the answer is the probability of "yes".
true: The answer to this problem is <option content>.false: The answer to this problem is not <option content>.

Jev chose B (1), the correct answer, and the same option takes the highest noul reading, 0.92.

Reading the tables:
- The judgment matches the correct answer on all five problems; none of the three topics is answered wrong.
- Confidence falls into two bands. Problems 2, 4, and 5 have
confidenceof 0.99 or above, with the correct answer taking nearly all of thechoiceprobability. Problems 1 and 3 are lower, at 0.50 and 0.56 — and these are exactly the two that require working through a computation: the integral needs integration by parts, and the determinant needs a third-order expansion. - Distractors are inflated under
noul. Of the 20 (problem, option) pairs, 16 have anoulreading above the same option'schoiceprobability, 1 is equal, and 3 are lower; the 3 lower ones all fall on problems wherechoicealready assigns 0.99 or more — the correct answers of problems 2, 4, and 5. - The wrong options of problem 1 are inflated across the board. The three wrong options hold only 0.02 to 0.22 under
choice, yet get 0.28 to 0.44 when asked "is this the answer" on its own; the same problem's correct answer1rises from 0.62 underchoiceto 0.92 undernoul. The largest single-option lift is problem 3's3, from 0.20 to 0.64. - Each
noulquestion is answered independently and returns the probability that its proposition holds; the readings do not form a distribution over the options and can be high at the same time.

Results for the English dataset are appended to result/responses.jsonl, and results for the Chinese dataset to result/responses_zh.jsonl. Each sample is requested once per run; reruns skip records that already succeeded, while records that failed in the previous run are cleaned up and requested again automatically.
