Video-MME-v2

Overview

Video-MME-v2 is a public comprehensive video understanding benchmark. It contains 800 videos, 3,200 multiple-choice QA instances, and word-level subtitles with timestamps. The native adapter uses the shared DatasetHub abstraction for both annotation loading and optional media archive downloads, so it exercises the same reusable video benchmark path as MVBench.

Task Description

  • Task Type: Video multiple-choice question answering
  • Input: Video URL or archived MP4 + question + answer choices
  • Output: Single correct answer letter
  • Subsets: all, level_1, level_2, level_3, logic, relevance

Evaluation Notes

  • Default configuration uses 0-shot evaluation
  • Primary metric: Accuracy
  • The default video source is the public url field for lightweight smoke tests
  • Set extra_params.video_source to archive to download and use the official MP4 archives
  • Set extra_params.use_subtitles to true to include word-level subtitles in the prompt

Usage

Using CLI

evalscope eval \
    --model YOUR_MODEL \
    --api-url OPENAI_API_COMPAT_URL \
    --api-key EMPTY_TOKEN \
    --datasets videomme_v2 \
    --limit 10  # Remove this line for formal evaluation

Using Python

from evalscope import run_task
from evalscope.config import TaskConfig

task_cfg = TaskConfig(
    model='YOUR_MODEL',
    api_url='OPENAI_API_COMPAT_URL',
    api_key='EMPTY_TOKEN',
    datasets=['videomme_v2'],
    dataset_args={
        'videomme_v2': {
            # subset_list: ['all', 'level_1', 'level_2']  # optional, evaluate specific subsets
            # extra_params: {}  # uses default extra parameters
        }
    },
    limit=10,  # Remove this line for formal evaluation
)
