📝 摘要（中文）
多模态大语言模型（MLLMs）在人工智能领域日益突出，尽管现有基准测试试图全面评估其能力，但通常只关注基本推理任务，导致评估结果的局限性。为此，本文手动策划了一个专门针对MLLMs的基准数据集，重点关注复杂推理任务，包括演绎推理、溯因推理和类比推理。通过引入中间推理步骤作为评估标准，本文提出了一种更有效的评估方法，旨在准确测量MLLMs的推理能力。代码和数据将发布在https://infimm.github.io/InfiMM-Eval/。
🔬 方法详解
问题定义：现有的多模态大语言模型评估方法往往只关注基本的推理任务，导致无法准确判断模型的复杂推理能力，评估结果常常模糊不清。
核心思路：本文通过手动策划一个专门针对MLLMs的基准数据集，聚焦于复杂推理任务，设计了包含演绎、溯因和类比推理的查询，以激发模型的推理能力。
技术框架：整体架构包括数据集构建、推理能力评估和结果分析三个主要模块。数据集中的查询被设计为多步骤的问题，模型需逐步生成答案。
关键创新：引入中间推理步骤作为评估标准，允许在模型无法给出明确答案时，通过其推理过程进行评分。这种方法类似于人类评估的考试形式，提升了评估的有效性。
关键设计：在评估过程中，采用了手动注释的中间推理步骤作为评分依据，确保评估的公正性和准确性。

📄 摘要（原文）
Multi-modal Large Language Models (MLLMs) are increasingly prominent in the field of artificial intelligence. These models not only excel in traditional vision-language tasks but also demonstrate impressive performance in contemporary multi-modal benchmarks. Although many of these benchmarks attempt to holistically evaluate MLLMs, they typically concentrate on basic reasoning tasks, often yielding only simple yes/no or multi-choice responses. These methods naturally lead to confusion and difficulties in conclusively determining the reasoning capabilities of MLLMs. To mitigate this issue, we manually curate a benchmark dataset specifically designed for MLLMs, with a focus on complex reasoning tasks. Our benchmark comprises three key reasoning categories: deductive, abductive, and analogical reasoning. The queries in our dataset are intentionally constructed to engage the reasoning capabilities of MLLMs in the process of generating answers. For a fair comparison across various MLLMs, we incorporate intermediate reasoning steps into our evaluation criteria. In instances where an MLLM is unable to produce a definitive answer, its reasoning ability is evaluated by requesting intermediate reasoning steps. If these steps align with our manual annotations, appropriate scores are assigned. This evaluation scheme resembles methods commonly used in human assessments, such as exams or assignments, and represents what we consider a more effective assessment technique compared with existing benchmarks. We evaluate a selection of representative MLLMs using this rigorously developed open-ended multi-step elaborate reasoning benchmark, designed to challenge and accurately measure their reasoning capabilities.
