๐ Overview
Rapid progress in multimodal large language models (MLLMs) highlights the need to introduce challenging yet realistic benchmarks to the academic community, while existing benchmarks primarily focus on understanding simple natural images and short context. In this paper, we presentMULTI, as a cutting-edge benchmark for evaluating MLLMs on understanding complex tables and images, and reasoning with long context. MULTI provides multimodal inputs and requires responses that are either precise or open-ended, reflecting real-life examination styles. MULTI includes over 18,000 questions and challenges MLLMs with a variety of tasks, ranging from formula derivation to image detail analysis and cross-modality reasoning. We also introduceMULTI-Elite, a 500-question selected hard subset, and MULTI-Extend, with more than 4,500 external knowledge context pieces. Our evaluation indicates significant potential for MLLM advancement, with GPT-4V achieving a 63.7% accuracy rate on MULTI, in contrast to other MLLMs scoring between 28.5% and 55.3%. MULTI serves not only as a robust evaluation platform but also paves the way for the development of expert-level AI.

โฌ Download
You can simply download data using the following command:
cd eval
python download_data.py
The structure of ./data
should be something like:
./data
โโโ images # folder containing images
โโโ problem_v1.2.2_20240212_release.json # MULTI
โโโ knowledge_v1.2.2_20240212_release.json # MULTI-Extend
โโโ hard_list_v1.2.1_20240206.json # MULTI-Elite
โโโ captions_v1.2.0_20231217.csv # image captions generated by BLIP-6.7b
๐ How to Evaluate
We provide a unified evaluation framework in eval
. Each file in eval/models
contains an evaluator specified to one M/LLM, and implements a generate_answer
method to receive a question as input and give out the answer of it.
cd eval
python eval.py -h # to list all supported arguments
python eval.py -l # to list all supported models
Environment Preparation Before Usage
Each evaluator requires its unique environment setting, and a universal environment may not work for all evaluators. Just follow the official guide. If the corresponding model runs well, then so should it fit in our framework.
You just need to install another two packages to run the evaluation code:
pip install tiktoken tqdm
If you just want to generate data for a specific setting (using --debug
argument), this line above is all you need.
Running Evaluation
For a quick start, see these examples:
Test GPT-4V model on whole MULTI with multimodal input, using MULTI-Extend as external knowledge:
python eval.py \
--problem_file ../data/problem_v1.2.2_20240212_release.json \
--knowledge_file ../data/knowledge_v1.2.2_20240212_release.json \
--questions_type 0,1,2,3 \
--image_type 0,1,2 \
--input_type 2 \
--model gpt-4v \
--model_version gpt-4-vision-preview \
--api_key sk-************************************************
Test Qwen-VL model on MULTI-Elite with image caption input, skip all questions not containing images, evaluate only multiple-choice questions, automatically set cuda device:
python eval.py \
--problem_file ../data/problem_v1.2.2_20240212_release.json \
--subset ../data/hard_list_v1.2.1_20240206.json \
--caption_file ../data/captions_v1.2.0_20231217.csv \
--questions_type 0,1 \
--image_type 1,2 \
--input_type 1 \
--model qwen-vl \
--model_dir ../models/Qwen-VL-Chat
The evaluation script will generate a folder named results
under the root directory, and the result will be saved in ../results/EXPERIMENT_NAME
. During the evaluation, the script will save checkpoints in ../results/EXPERIMENT_NAME/checkpoints
, you can delete them after the evaluation is done. If the evaluation is interrupted, you can continue from the last checkpoint:
python eval.py \
--checkpoint_dir ../results/EXPERIMENT_NAME
Most of the arguments are saved in ../results/EXPERIMENT_NAME/args.json
, so you can continue the evaluation without specifying all the arguments again. Please note that --api_key
is not saved in args.json
for security reasons, so you need to specify it again.
python eval.py \
--checkpoint_dir ../results/EXPERIMENT_NAME \
--api_key sk-************************************************
For more details of arguments, please use python eval.py -h
, and refer to args.py
and eval.py
.
Add Support for Your Models
It's recommended to read the code of the other given evaluators in eval/models
before your implementation.
Create class YourModelEvaluator
and implement generate_answer(self, question:dict)
to match the design supported in eval.py
and eval.sh
, which is anticipated to largely ease the coding process.
Do not forget to add their references into args.py
for the convenience of usage.
You can execute model_tester.py
in the eval
folder to check the correctness of you implementation. Various problems including implementation errors, small bugs in code, and even wrong environment settings may cause failure of the evaluation. The examples provided in the file cover most kinds of cases presented in our benchmark. Feel free to change the code in it to debug your code๐
python model_tester.py <args> # args are similar to the default settings above
Create Captions and OCR Data for Images
Generate captions or OCR data for images, and save them in csv with format below:
../data/images/czls/502_1.png,a cartoon drawing of a man standing in front of a large block
../data/images/czls/525_1.png,a chinese newspaper with the headline, china's new year
...
We provide two example scripts to generate captions (image_caption.py
) and OCR data (image_ocr.py
) for images.
๐ฎ How to Submit
You need to first prepare a UTF-8 encoded JSON file with the following format:
{
"czsx_0_0": {
"question_id": "czsx_0_0",
"question_image_number": 1,
"image_list": [...], # optional
"input_message": ..., # optional
"prediction": "C"
},
...
}
If you evaluate the model with our official code, you can simply zip the prediction file prediction.json
and the configuration file args.json
in the experiment results folder . /results/EXPERIMENT_NAME
in .zip
format.
Then, you can submit your result to our evaluation page.
You are also welcomed to pull a request and contribute your code to our evaluation code. We will be very grateful for your contribution!
[Notice] Thank you for being so interested in the MULTI dataset! If you want to add your model in our leaderboard, please fill in this questionnaire, your information will be kept strictly confidential, so please feel free to fill it out. ๐ค
