What is VideoMME (w sub.)?

VideoMME evaluates video understanding: the model watches videos of up to an hour and answers multiple-choice questions about event order, details and cause-and-effect relationships. The variants run with and without subtitles, which shows how well a model reads the actual video track.

What does it test?

VideoMME (w sub.) measures understanding videos instead of static images. In detail, it checks:

  • following events, people and their order over time
  • answering about details that only appear in the video
  • short, medium and long videos in one test
  • understanding without subtitle support (or with, per variant)

How to read the score

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