BLINK

BLINK is a benchmark for handling several input types together (images, documents, text). The official description says: "BLINK - multimodal benchmark for visual perception tasks". Below we describe in simple words what benchmarks of this type generally examine.

BLINK measures handling several input types together (images, documents, text). In detail, it checks:

• questions that mix text with images or document pages
• reading and extracting information from screenshots and scans
• understanding layout, titles, logos and figures in real documents
• staying accurate when the text content alone is not enough

The score is accuracy: the percentage of tasks answered or solved correctly. 100% means every task was solved perfectly; higher is better.

Official methodology note: BLINK - multimodal benchmark for visual perception tasks.

What is the BLINK benchmark?

What does BLINK test?

BLINK mainly measures handling several input types together (images, documents, text). Concretely, it checks: questions that mix text with images or document pages; reading and extracting information from screenshots and scans; understanding layout, titles, logos and figures in real documents.

How is the BLINK score calculated?

The score is accuracy: the percentage of tasks answered or solved correctly. 100% means every task was solved perfectly; higher is better. The declared maximum score of this benchmark is 100.0.
