| Challenge: | Recent advances in large vision-language models have led to remarkable progress in complex visual understanding across scientific and reasoning tasks. |
| Approach: | They evaluate 18 state-of-the-art vision-language models across 6 multimodal datasets with 3 distinct scoring functions and develop instruction-guided likelihood proxies for closed-source models lacking token-level logprob access. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model is able to achieve higher accuracy on multimodal benchmarks while performing poorer on reasoning tasks. |
