COHERENCE benchmark evaluates MLLMs' fine-grained image-text alignment in interleaved contexts

Researchers have introduced COHERENCE, a new benchmark designed to assess the fine-grained image-text alignment capabilities of Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs). Existing benchmarks often overlook the complexities of interleaved image-text contexts found in real-world documents. COHERENCE addresses this gap by evaluating MLLMs' ability to connect visual and textual information within such mixed-media environments, covering four distinct domains and featuring over 6,000 questions. AI

IMPACT Provides a new evaluation framework for multimodal models, highlighting current limitations in understanding interleaved image-text data.
