Benchmark Paper Template
Overview
A Benchmark paper does not win by proposing a new algorithm. It wins by defining a new evaluation dimension and shipping a construction pipeline that makes the measurement high-quality, scalable, and reproducible. This skill scaffolds the five pillars a reviewer checks, then gives you a six-part Introduction chain, a Section 2-7 skeleton, and a pre-submission checklist. Stage-specific depth lives in seven reference files under references/.
Core capabilities
- Five-pillar completeness audit: is the Research Gap articulated? Is the Construction Pipeline principled? Is the Evaluation Framework fine-grained? Do the Empirical Findings reveal capability boundaries? Is a Companion Method warranted?
- Introduction six-part logic chain: Background + Running Example, Existing-Benchmark Limitations (no more than three), Research Questions, Design Considerations, Our Proposal, Contributions.
- Section skeleton for §2 to §7: Task and Design Goals, Construction Pipeline, Optional Companion Method, Experiments organized by RQ, Discussion and Research Opportunities, Related Work with benchmark comparison table, Conclusion.
- Pre-submission self-check: four-category reviewer checklist (Introduction, Benchmark section, Experiments, Overall) with Critical, Major, Minor severity.
