MME-SCI is a comprehensive multimodal benchmark designed to evaluate the scientific reasoning capabilities of Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs). It addresses key limitations of existing benchmarks by focusing on multilingual adaptability, comprehensive modality coverage, and fine-grained knowledge point annotation.
| Attribute | Details |
|---|---|
| Total Samples | 1,019 question-answer pairs |
| Subjects & Distribution | - Mathematics: 284 - Physics: 368 - Chemistry: 151 - Biology: 216 |
| Languages | Chinese, English, French, Spanish, Japanese |
| Modality Modes | - Text-only: Pure textual questions - Image-only: Screenshot-based questions - Image-text hybrid: Combined visual and textual inputs |
| Question Types | Single-choice, multiple-choice, fill-in-the-blank (all with verifiable answers for automated scoring) |
| Knowledge Points | 63 fine-grained concepts (e.g., "Regulation of Plant Life Activities" in biology, "Basic Laws of Heredity" in genetics) |
MME-SCI has been tested on 20 MLLMs (16 open-source, 4 closed-source), revealing significant challenges for existing models:

The dataset was built through a rigorous 4-step process:
