MMVU is an expert-level, multi-discipline video understanding benchmark with questions spanning 27 subjects across Science, Healthcare, Humanities & Social Sciences, and Engineering. Each multiple-choice example pairs a specialized-domain video with a question and 5 candidate answers. The task is formulated as multiple-choice retrieval: given the (video, question) pair, retrieve the correct candidate. Used the public validation multiple-choice subset (~625 examples).

How to evaluate on this task
You can evaluate an embedding model on this dataset using the following code:
import mteb
task = mteb.get_task("MMVUVideoCentricQA")
model = mteb.get_model(YOUR_MODEL)
mteb.evaluate(model, task)
To learn more about how to run models on mteb task check out the GitHub repository.
