## Results
Evaluated upon 10 open-source and 4 proprietary LVLMs, our results show that all LVLMs exhibit greater improvements when augmented with images compared to textual knowledge. Notably, the top-performing model, GPT-4o, faces challenges in effectively leveraging retrieved knowledge, achieving only a 5.82% improvement with ground-truth information, in contrast to a 33.16% improvement observed in human participants. These findings highlight the importance of MRAG-Bench in encouraging the community to enhance LVLMs' ability to utilize retrieved visual knowledge more effectively.
## Load Dataset
The `data/` directory contains the full dataset annotations and images pre-loaded for processing with HF Datasets. It can be loaded as follows:
```python
from datasets import load_dataset
mrag_bench = load_dataset("uclanlp/MRAG-Bench")
```
