MMMU-PRO

Overview

MMMU-PRO is an enhanced multimodal benchmark designed to rigorously assess the genuine understanding capabilities of advanced AI models across multiple modalities. It builds upon the original MMMU benchmark with key improvements that make evaluation more challenging and realistic.

Task Description

  • Task Type: Multimodal Academic Question Answering
  • Input: Images (up to 7) + multiple-choice question
  • Output: Correct answer choice letter
  • Domains: 30 academic subjects across STEM, humanities, and social sciences

Key Features

  • Enhanced version of MMMU with more rigorous evaluation
  • Covers 30 subjects: Accounting, Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Economics, Physics, etc.
  • Multiple dataset formats available:
    • standard (4 options): Traditional 4-choice format
    • standard (10 options): Extended 10-choice format for harder evaluation
    • vision: Questions embedded in images
  • Tests genuine multimodal understanding, not just text shortcuts

Evaluation Notes

  • Default evaluation uses the test split
  • Primary metric: Accuracy on multiple-choice questions
  • Dataset format can be configured via dataset_format parameter
  • Uses Chain-of-Thought (CoT) prompting for reasoning
  • Rich metadata includes topic difficulty and subject information
