πŸ‘€ About MMSearch

The capabilities of Large Multi-modal Models (LMMs) in multimodal search remain insufficiently explored and evaluated. To fill the blank of a framework for LMM to conduct multimodal AI search engine, we first design a delicate pipeline MMSearch-Engine to facilitate any LMM to function as a multimodal AI search engine


The overview of MMSearch-Engine.

To further evaluate the potential of LMMs in the multimodal search domain, we introduce MMSearch, an all-around multimodal search benchmark designed for assessing the multimodal search performance. The benchmark contains 300 manually collected instances spanning 14 subfields, which involves no overlap with the current LMMs' training data, ensuring the correct answer can only be obtained within searching.


The overview of MMSearch.

In addition, we propose a step-wise evaluation strategy to better understand the LMMs' searching capability. The models are evaluated by performing three individual tasks (requery, rerank, and summarization), and one challenging end-to-end task with a complete searching process. The final score is weighted by the four tasks.


Outline of Evaluation Tasks, Inputs, and Outputs.

An example of LMM input, output, and ground truth for four evaluation tasks is shown here.
