New benchmark reveals MLLMs struggle with cross-view understanding

Researchers have developed SSMNBench, a new diagnostic benchmark designed to evaluate the cross-view human-object understanding capabilities of Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs). The benchmark consists of 3,300 question-answer pairs categorized into Single-View Sufficiency (SVS) and Multi-View Necessity (MVN) tasks. Evaluations using SSMNBench revealed that current MLLMs struggle with integrating fragmented evidence from multiple views and are susceptible to "distraction degradation" when presented with redundant visual information, indicating a reliance on semantic averaging rather than true cross-view synthesis.
