6.2 Academic benchmarks

We report in Table 2 the evaluation results of Phi-3-Vision on nine open-source academic benchmarks. These benchmarks evaluate reasoning and perceptual capabilities on visual and text inputs and can be grouped in three categories: Science, Charts, and Generic knowledge. We compare Phi-3-Vision with the following baselines: MM1-3B-Chat [MGF+ 24], MM1-7B-Chat [MGF+ 24], Llava-1.6 Vicuna 7B [LLLL23], Llava-1.6 Llama3-8B [LLL+ 24], Qwen-VL-Chat [BBY+ 23], Claude 3 Haiku [Ant24], Gemini 1.0 Pro V [TAB+ 23], and GPT-4V-Turbo. Our performance quality assessment setup used the same evaluation pipeline for all the baselines to ensure a fair comparison, with the exception of MM1-3B-Chat. We just copied and pasted their published numbers since the model is not publicly available.

Our evaluation setup aimed to mimic scenarios where regular users interact with a multi-modal model, i.e., users who are not experts in prompt engineering or know special techniques that can improve performance. For this reason, we adopted the evaluation setting used in Llava-1.5 [LLLL23]. In this setup, the prompts include instructions to select a single letter corresponding to an answer from a list of given options, or answer with a single word or phrase. In our prompts, we did not use specific tokens for multiple-choice questions. Moreover, we did not scale or pre-process any image in our benchmarking system. We placed the images as the first item in the prompts, except on the MMMU dataset where the prompts interleave the images anywhere in the question or the answers. Lastly, our evaluation setup only considered a 0-shot format. Because of these evaluation parameters, our reported numbers can differ from the published numbers of the considered baselines.
