New MVGraph benchmark reveals LVLM struggles with multi-view visual graph reasoning

Researchers have introduced MVGraph, a new benchmark designed to evaluate Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) on their ability to compose evidence from multiple interconnected visual graph views. Existing benchmarks typically focus on single graphs, neglecting the crucial aspect of aligning and combining information across different perspectives. MVGraph includes 8,000 instances across 8 graph-theoretic tasks, derived from scenarios involving partial and temporal graph views, with each problem specifically designed to be unsolvable from a single view. The benchmark also offers diagnostic tasks to assess four key capabilities: Perception, Alignment, Composition, and Reasoning, revealing significant bottlenecks in cross-view edge alignment and relation-level composition for current LVLMs. AI

IMPACT This benchmark highlights critical limitations in LVLMs' ability to synthesize information from multiple sources, potentially guiding future model development towards more robust reasoning capabilities.

    MVGraph: Benchmarking LVLMs on Evidence Composition across Multi-View Visual Graph

    arXiv:2610.12961v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We introduce MVGraph, a benchmark for evaluating large vision-language models (LVLMs) on multi-graph reasoning where the evidence required by a query is distributed across multiple interrelated visual graph views. Although such ev…
