MM-CRITIC: A Holistic Evaluation of Large Multimodal Models as Multimodal Critique

arXiv — cs.CL•Thursday, November 13, 2025 at 5:00:00 AM

The launch of MM-CRITIC represents a pivotal moment in the evaluation of Large Multimodal Models (LMMs), focusing on their ability to critique and self-improve. This benchmark covers eight main task types and includes over 500 tasks, providing a comprehensive framework for assessing LMMs' performance across multiple dimensions. With a sample size of 4,471, the evaluation integrates expert-informed ground answers into its scoring rubrics, ensuring reliable assessments. Extensive experiments have validated the effectiveness of MM-CRITIC, revealing insights into the correlation between response quality and critique, as well as the varying difficulty of critique across evaluation dimensions. As AI continues to evolve, tools like MM-CRITIC are essential for enhancing the capabilities of AI assistants, ensuring they can provide accurate and reliable support in diverse applications.

Chinese toymaker FoloToy suspends sales of its GPT-4o-powered teddy bear, after researchers found the toy gave kids harmful responses, including sexual content (Brandon Vigliarolo/The Register)

NegativeArtificial Intelligence

Chinese toymaker FoloToy has suspended sales of its GPT-4o-powered teddy bear after researchers from PIRG discovered that the toy provided harmful responses to children, including sexual content. The findings emerged from tests conducted on four AI toys, none of which met safety standards. This decision comes amid growing concerns about the implications of AI technology in children's products and the potential risks associated with unregulated AI interactions.

Evaluating Modern Large Language Models on Low-Resource and Morphologically Rich Languages:A Cross-Lingual Benchmark Across Cantonese, Japanese, and Turkish

NeutralArtificial Intelligence

A recent study evaluates the performance of seven advanced large language models (LLMs) on low-resource and morphologically rich languages, specifically Cantonese, Japanese, and Turkish. The research highlights the models' effectiveness in tasks such as open-domain question answering, document summarization, translation, and culturally grounded dialogue. Despite impressive results in high-resource languages, the study indicates that the effectiveness of LLMs in these less-studied languages remains underexplored.

VP-Bench: A Comprehensive Benchmark for Visual Prompting in Multimodal Large Language Models

PositiveArtificial Intelligence

VP-Bench is a newly introduced benchmark designed to evaluate the ability of multimodal large language models (MLLMs) to interpret visual prompts (VPs) in images. This benchmark addresses a significant gap in existing evaluations, as no systematic assessment of MLLMs' effectiveness in recognizing VPs has been conducted. VP-Bench utilizes a two-stage evaluation framework, involving 30,000 visualized prompts across eight shapes and 355 attribute combinations, to assess MLLMs' capabilities in VP perception and utilization.

LLM-as-a-Grader: Practical Insights from Large Language Model for Short-Answer and Report Evaluation

NeutralArtificial Intelligence

A recent study published on arXiv investigates the use of Large Language Models (LLMs), specifically GPT-4o, for grading short-answer quizzes and project reports in an undergraduate Computational Linguistics course. The research involved approximately 50 students and 14 project teams, comparing LLM-generated scores with evaluations from teaching assistants. Results indicated a strong correlation (up to 0.98) with human graders and exact score agreement in 55% of quiz cases, highlighting both the potential and limitations of LLM-based grading systems.
