• Authors: Jiamin Tang, Chao Zhang, Xudong Zhu, Mengchi Liu,
• Abstract summary: Tangram is a novel benchmark designed to evaluate the performance of LMMs on geometric recognition element. Tangram includes 1,080 diverse geometric diagrams sourced from primary and secondary school exams, competitions, and textbooks. It requires models to perform a "simple but interesting" counting task. The overall accuracy of the top performer across all tested models is only 56.8%, marking a significant gap when compared to human performance.

• Abstract: Significant advancements in Large Multimodal Models (LMMs) have enabled them to tackle complex problems involving visual-mathematical reasoning. However, their ability to identify geometric elements remains understudied. To bridge this gap, we introduce Tangram, a novel benchmark designed to evaluate the performance of LMMs on geometric element recognition. Tangram includes 1,080 diverse geometric diagrams sourced from primary and secondary school exams, competitions, and textbooks, covering from simple basic geometric shapes to complex combinations. Each diagram is associated with four questions, resulting in a total of 4,320 visual-question-answer pairs. Unlike existing benchmarks that seek higher-level cognition and reasoning, Tangram focuses on the understanding of geometric elements, requiring models to perform a "simple but interesting" counting task. Systematic evaluation of 10 prominent LMMs, such as GPT-4o and Claude 3.5 Sonnet, shows that even in the seemingly simple task, these models still face significant challenges. Notably, the overall accuracy of the top performer across all tested models is only 56.8%, marking a significant gap when compared to human performance. These findings highlight the limitations of current multimodal artificial intelligence systems in handling basic perception tasks, and will inspire the development of the next generation of expert-level multimodal foundational models. The Tangram and evaluation code will be available soon.
