LLM Research NLP Robotics Benchmark

Summary

MBZUAI researchers introduce LLM-BabyBench, a benchmark suite for evaluating grounded planning and reasoning in LLMs. The suite, built on a textual adaptation of the BabyAI grid world, assesses LLMs on predicting action consequences, generating action sequences, and decomposing instructions. Datasets, evaluation harness, and metrics are publicly available to facilitate reproducible assessment.

A Benchmark and Agentic Framework for Omni-Modal Reasoning and Tool Use in Long Videos

arXiv ·

A new benchmark, LongShOTBench, is introduced for evaluating multimodal reasoning and tool use in long videos, featuring open-ended questions and diagnostic rubrics. The benchmark addresses the limitations of existing datasets by combining temporal length and multimodal richness, using human-validated samples. LongShOTAgent, an agentic system, is also presented for analyzing long videos, with both the benchmark and agent demonstrating the challenges faced by state-of-the-art MLLMs.

Agent-X: Evaluating Deep Multimodal Reasoning in Vision-Centric Agentic Tasks

arXiv ·

MBZUAI introduces Agent-X, a benchmark for evaluating multi-step reasoning in vision-centric agents across real-world, multimodal settings. Agent-X includes 828 tasks with diverse visual contexts and spans six environments, requiring tool use and stepwise decision-making. Experiments show that current LLMs struggle with multi-step vision tasks, achieving less than 50% success, highlighting areas for improvement in LMM reasoning and tool use.
