MVBench

MVBench is a benchmark for understanding videos instead of static images. The official description says: "MVBench - comprehensive multi-modal video understanding benchmark". Below we describe in simple words what benchmarks of this type generally examine.

MVBench measures understanding videos instead of static images. In detail, it checks:

• following events, actions and their order across time
• answering questions about long videos (with and without subtitles)
• reasoning about what happened and why, not just single frames
• integrating audio/subtitle context with the visual stream

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