MMOOC - Missing Knowledge and Background (Open-Ended VQA): leaderboard
MMOOC tests whether multimodal models decline questions their image and context cannot answer, and explain why. This board covers open-ended visual questions where the background knowledge the question needs is absent, and averages the share of correct refusals with a judge rating of the abstention reasoning.
Metric: Out-of-context score (%; mean of the refusal rate, the share of the Missing Knowledge and Background Open-Ended VQA questions, which the image and context cannot answer, that the model correctly declines, and refusal rationality, the mean 0-1 judge score of its abstention reasoning in steps of 0.25; judge scores averaged over GPT-5.6, Claude Opus 5 and DeepSeek-V4-Pro).
