DSBench: How Far Are Data Science Agents to Becoming Data Science
  Experts?
Large Language Models (LLMs) and Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) have
demonstrated impressive language/vision reasoning abilities, igniting the
recent trend of building agents for targeted applications such as shopping
assistants or AI software engineers. Recently, many data science benchmarks
have been proposed to investigate their performance in the data science domain.
However, existing data science benchmarks still fall short when compared to
real-world data science applications due to their simplified settings. To
bridge this gap, we introduce DSBench, a comprehensive benchmark designed to
evaluate data science agents with realistic tasks. This benchmark includes 466
data analysis tasks and 74 data modeling tasks, sourced from Eloquence and
Kaggle competitions. DSBench offers a realistic setting by encompassing long
contexts, multimodal task backgrounds, reasoning with large data files and
multi-table structures, and performing end-to-end data modeling tasks. Our
evaluation of state-of-the-art LLMs, LVLMs, and agents shows that they struggle
with most tasks, with the best agent solving only 34.12% of data analysis tasks
and achieving a 34.74% Relative Performance Gap (RPG). These findings
underscore the need for further advancements in developing more practical,
intelligent, and autonomous data science agents.
