Evaluation

To run the evaluation scripts, please modify the mehtods for loading models, inference, and post processing of model generated answers.

You can also use our provided scripts for some models (including Qwen2-VL, mPLUG-Owl3, Idefics3, Mantis, Brote, MMICL. API-based models will be available soon.)

Please try:

bash eval_script/run_qwen2vl_mix.sh 0,1,2,3 ../asset path_to_qwen2vl > qwen_mix.log 2>&1 &

🚧 These are temporal scripts and will be updated soon. If you find the scripts does not working properly, please raise issues in this repo.

Sample outputs are provided in results dir.
