Multimodal Evaluation

Rigorous testing for vision-language models and document pipelines. Measure OCR fidelity, complex table cell extraction, financial chart interpretation, and visual evidence grounding.

Beyond Clean Images

What We Evaluate

Real-world enterprise documents are messy: PDFs with multi-column flows, skewed smartphone scans, nested tables with merged header cells, and complex presentation charts. We test whether vision-language models associate numbers with correct row/column headers without hallucinating spurious data.

The Cost of Visual Hallucinations

When an OCR or multimodal model encounters a blurred digit or merged table cell, standard models often interpolate a plausible number rather than expressing uncertainty. In financial and medical document pipelines, these silent numeric errors represent major regulatory liabilities.

Multimodal Metrics

Metric Dimension Description
Cell Value Extraction Accuracy TABLE OCR Exact string and numeric precision when extracting cells across complex tabular grids.
Cross-Column Association Fidelity LAYOUT Accuracy in mapping values to correct hierarchical parent headers in merged-cell tables.
Chart Trend & Axis Reasoning VISUAL QA Correct interpretation of non-linear axis scaling, bar chart magnitudes, and legend keys.
Spurious Digit Interpolation SAFETY Frequency of hallucinating digits on low-contrast, noisy, or unreadable document segments.
