VERIFY: A Benchmark of Visual Explanation and Reasoning for Investigating Multimodal Reasoning FidelitY

VERIFY is the first benchmark explicitly designed to assess the reasoning paths of MLLMs in visual reasoning tasks. By introducing novel evaluation metrics that go beyond mere accuracy, VERIFY highlights critical limitations in current MLLMs and emphasizes the need for a more balanced approach to visual perception and logical reasoning.

Details of the benchmark can viewed at the VERIFY project page.
