CresOWLve: Benchmarking Creative Problem-Solving Over Real-World Knowledge
Quick summary
arXiv:2604.03374v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Creative problem-solving requires combining multiple cognitive abilities, including logical reasoning, lateral thinking, analogy-making, and commonsense knowledge, to discover insights that connect seemingly unrelated pieces of information. However, most existing benchmarks for large language models (LLMs) evaluate only specific components of this process. Moreover, many creativity-oriented benchmarks rely on artificially constructed brainteasers or contrived scenarios that do not reflect how creative problem-solving occurs in real-worl
