• Abstract: Large multimodal models (LMMs) have demonstrated impressive capabilities in understanding various types of image, including text-rich images. Most existing text-rich image benchmarks are simple extraction-based question answering, and many LMMs now easily achieve high scores. This means that current benchmarks fail to accurately reflect performance of different models, and a natural idea is to build a new benchmark to evaluate their complex reasoning and spatial understanding abilities. In this work, we propose the Multi-Modal Reading (MMR) benchmark in 11 diverse tasks to evaluate LMMs for text-rich image understanding. MMR is the first text-rich image benchmark built on human annotations with the help of language models. By evaluating several state-of-the-art LMMs, including GPT-4o, it reveals the limited capabilities of existing LMMs underscoring the value of our benchmark.

  StripCipher is a benchmark designed to evaluate capabilities of Large Multimodal Models (LMMs) to comprehend and reason over sequential images. StripCipher comprises a human-annotated dataset and three challenging subtasks: visual narrative comprehension, contextual frame prediction, and temporal narrative reordering. Our evaluation of $16$ state-of-the-art LMMs, including GPT-4o and Qwen2.5VL, reveals a significant performance gap compared to human capabilities.

  Large Multimodal Models (LMMs) have demonstrated impressive capabilities in multimodal understanding and generation. Existing approaches, such as layout planning for multi-step generation and learning from human feedback or AI feedback, depend heavily on prompt engineering. We introduce a model-agnostic iterative self-feedback framework (SILMM) that can enable LMMs to provide helpful and scalable self-improvement and optimize text-image alignment.

  Large Multimodal Models (LMMs) have demonstrated remarkable capabilities. We propose a straightforward automated evaluation pipeline that requires LMMs to generate an image-prompt from a given input image. We then employ text-to-image generative models to create a new image based on these generated prompts. Finally, we evaluate the performance of LMMs by comparing the original image with the generated one.

  Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) have achieved remarkable performance in many vision-language tasks. Existing benchmarks either contain limited fine-grained evaluation samples mixed with other data, or are confined to object-level assessments in natural images. We propose using document images with multi-granularity and multi-modal information to supplement natural images.

  We introduce a new limitation of off-the-shelf LMMs where a small fraction of incoherent images mislead LMMs to only generate biased output about the hijacked context. We propose a pre-filtering method that removes irrelevant contexts via GPT-4V, based on its robustness towards distribution shift within the contexts. We investigate whether replacing the hijacked visual and textual contexts with the correlated ones via GPT-4V and text-to-image models can help yield coherent responses.
