| Challenge: | Existing work on benchmarks containing publicly available information has been interpreted as a temporal signal for benchmark contamination. |
| Approach: | They show that LLM-transformed questions can produce remarkably different temporal patterns compared to fill-in-the-blank questions directly retrieved from the very same documents. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model can produce different temporal patterns compared to fill-in-the-blank questions retrieved from the same documents. |
