📝 摘要(中文)
逻辑推理是人类智能的基本方面,也是多模态大语言模型(MLLMs)必备的能力。尽管多模态推理取得了显著进展,现有基准测试未能全面评估其推理能力,主要由于缺乏对逻辑推理类型的明确分类和对推理理解的不清晰。为了解决这些问题,我们提出了MME-Reasoning,这是一个全面的基准,旨在评估MLLMs的推理能力,涵盖归纳、演绎和溯因三种推理类型。我们精心策划数据,确保每个问题有效评估推理能力,而非感知技能或知识广度,并扩展评估协议以涵盖多样化问题。我们的评估揭示了当前最先进的MLLMs在全面逻辑推理能力评估中的显著局限性,甚至最先进的模型在综合逻辑推理中表现有限,且不同推理类型之间存在显著的性能不平衡。

📄 摘要(原文)
Logical reasoning is a fundamental aspect of human intelligence and an essential capability for multimodal large language models (MLLMs). Despite the significant advancement in multimodal reasoning, existing benchmarks fail to comprehensively evaluate their reasoning abilities due to the lack of explicit categorization for logical reasoning types and an unclear understanding of reasoning. To address these issues, we introduce MME-Reasoning, a comprehensive benchmark designed to evaluate the reasoning ability of MLLMs, which covers all three types of reasoning (i.e., inductive, deductive, and abductive) in its questions. We carefully curate the data to ensure that each question effectively evaluates reasoning ability rather than perceptual skills or knowledge breadth, and extend the evaluation protocols to cover the evaluation of diverse questions. Our evaluation reveals substantial limitations of state-of-the-art MLLMs when subjected to holistic assessments of logical reasoning capabilities. Even the most advanced MLLMs show limited performance in comprehensive logical reasoning, with notable performance imbalances across reasoning types. In addition, we conducted an in-depth analysis of approaches such as ``thinking mode'' and Rule-based RL, which are commonly believed to enhance reasoning abilities. These findings highlight the critical limitations and performance imbalances of current MLLMs in diverse logical reasoning scenarios, providing comprehensive and systematic insights into the understanding and evaluation of reasoning capabilities.
