# Unscramble

### Paper

Language Models are Few-Shot Learners
https://arxiv.org/pdf/2005.14165.pdf

Unscramble is a small battery of 5 “character manipulation” tasks. Each task
involves giving the model a word distorted by some combination of scrambling,
addition, or deletion of characters, and asking it to recover the original word.

### Groups and Tasks

#### Groups

* `unscramble`

#### Tasks

* `anagrams1` - Anagrams of all but the first and last letter.
* `anagrams2` - Anagrams of all but the first and last 2 letters.
* `cycle_letters` - Cycle letters in a word.
* `random_insertion` - Random insertions in the word that must be removed.
* `reversed_words` - Words spelled backwards that must be reversed.

### Checklist

For adding novel benchmarks/datasets to the library:
* [x] Is the task an existing benchmark in the literature?
  * [x] Have you referenced the original paper that introduced the task?
  * [x] If yes, does the original paper provide a reference implementation? If so, have you checked against the reference implementation and documented how to run such a test?


If other tasks on this dataset are already supported:
* [x] Is the "Main" variant of this task clearly denoted?
* [x] Have you provided a short sentence in a README on what each new variant adds / evaluates?
* [x] Have you noted which, if any, published evaluation setups are matched by this variant?
  * [x] Checked for equivalence with v0.3.0 LM Evaluation Harness
