Researchers have introduced a new metric, VL-LCM, to evaluate the logical consistency of multimodal large language models (MLLMs) without requiring ground-truth annotations. This metric assesses the cause-effect reasoning capabilities of MLLMs on vision-language tasks, using existing benchmarks like MMMU and NaturalBench. Experiments on 11 open-source MLLMs indicate that while accuracy has improved, logical consistency remains a significant challenge, suggesting VL-LCM can aid in model selection and validation for novel tasks.
