HumanEval
· pre-training data · in The Pile
Riddell et al. (2024): 12.2% of HumanEval gold solutions have a perfect (surface- or semantic-level) match in the Pile's GitHub split; CONDA 2024 contamination report also lists openai_humaneval as found (>0%) in EleutherAI/pile. (WIMBD's exact-match input-field check reports 0.00% for openai-humaneval in the Pile, Table 16.)
Evidence
“Results in Fig. 1 show that 12.2% of the solutions in HumanEval have been seen by models trained on the P ILE”

MMLU (Measuring Massive Multitask Language Understanding)
· pre-training data · in The Pile
MMLU test questions are also substantially 'dirty' in Pile-train: DCLM-baseline (27.70%) has only 1.1x more dirty entries than Pile-train. Exact Pile-train rate is in Table 2 (not reliably extracted from the PDF text).
Evidence
“Compared with Pile-train, most benchmarks show a higher dirty rate on DCLM-baseline. For example, ARC-Challenge has 17× more and MMLU has 1.1× more dirty entries.”
