Evaluating and Advancing Multimodal Large Language Models in Ability Lens

Evaluating and Advancing Multimodal Large Language Models in Ability Lens

arXiv:2411.14725v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: As multimodal large language models (MLLMs) advance rapidly, rigorous evaluation has become essential, providing further guidance for their development. In this work, we focus on a unified and robust evaluation of textbf{vision perception} abilities, the foundational skill of MLLMs. We find that existing perception benchmarks, each focusing on different question types, domains, and evaluation metrics, introduce significant evaluation variance, complicating comprehensive assessments of perception abilities when relying on any single benchmark. To address this, we introduce textbf{AbilityLens}, a unified benchmark designed to evaluate MLLMs across six key perception abilities, focusing on both accuracy and stability,…

Essential Input Strategies in Building Microservices Architecture

Essential Input Strategies in Building Microservices Architecture

Nowadays, building scalable and efficient software solutions is more important than ever because of the fast pace of today's digital world. Among those popular design patterns is microservices architecture, which allows developers to break down complex applications into smaller, manageable services. The most important aspect of building effective microservices is understanding and implementing essential input strategies. In this article, we will explore how to build microservices input strategies, including input sensors and input bots, to enhance performance and reliability in your applications. A Brief Introduction of MicroservicesBefore getting into input strategies, you should properly understand what microservices mean. Basically, they…
