# Multi-modality Evaluation

We support several multi-modality datasets, such as [MMBench](https://opencompass.org.cn/MMBench), [SEED-Bench](https://github.com/AILab-CVC/SEED-Bench) to evaluate multi-modality models. Before starting, please make sure you have downloaded the evaluation datasets following the official instruction.

## Start Evaluation

Before evaluation, you could modify `tasks.py` or create a new file like `tasks.py` to evaluate your own model.

Generally to run the evaluation, we use command below.

### Slurm

```sh
cd $root
python run.py configs/multimodal/tasks.py --mm-eval --slurm -p $PARTITION
```

### PyTorch

```sh
cd $root
python run.py configs/multimodal/tasks.py --mm-eval
```

## Configuration File

We adapt the new config format of [MMEngine](https://mmengine.readthedocs.io/en/latest/advanced_tutorials/config.html#a-pure-python-style-configuration-file-beta).

### Task File

Here is the example config of `configs/multimodal/tasks.py`.

```python
from mmengine.config import read_base

with read_base():
    from .minigpt_4.minigpt_4_7b_mmbench import (minigpt_4_mmbench_dataloader,
                                                 minigpt_4_mmbench_evaluator,
                                                 minigpt_4_mmbench_load_from,
                                                 minigpt_4_mmbench_model)

models = [minigpt_4_mmbench_model]
datasets = [minigpt_4_mmbench_dataloader]
evaluators = [minigpt_4_mmbench_evaluator]
load_froms = [minigpt_4_mmbench_load_from]

# set the platform and resources
num_gpus = 8
num_procs = 8
launcher = 'pytorch'
```

### Details of Task

Here is an example of MiniGPT-4 with MMBench and we provide some comments for
users to understand the meaning of the keys in config.

```python
