# MJ-Bench Team

[MJ-Bench-Team](https://mj-bench.github.io/) is co-founded by Stanford University, UNC-Chapel Hill, and the University of Chicago. We aim to align modern foundation models with multimodal judges to enhance reliability, safety, and performance.

## 👩‍⚖️ [**MJ-Bench**: Is Your Multimodal Reward Model Really a Good Judge for Text-to-Image Generation?](https://mj-bench.github.io/)

- **Project page**: [https://mj-bench.github.io/](https://mj-bench.github.io/)
- **Code repository**: [https://github.com/MJ-Bench/MJ-Bench](https://github.com/MJ-Bench/MJ-Bench)

Text-to-image models like DALLE-3 and Stable Diffusion are proliferating rapidly, but they often encounter challenges such as hallucination, bias, and unsafe or low-quality output. To effectively address these issues, it’s crucial to align these models with desired behaviors based on feedback from a **multimodal judge**.

However, current multimodal judges are often **under-evaluated**, leading to possible misalignment and safety concerns during fine-tuning. To tackle this, we introduce **MJ-Bench**, a new benchmark featuring a comprehensive preference dataset to evaluate multimodal judges on four critical dimensions:

1. **Alignment**  
2. **Safety**  
3. **Image Quality**  
4. **Bias**  

We evaluate a wide range of multimodal judges, including:
- 6 smaller-sized CLIP-based scoring models  
- 11 open-source VLMs (e.g., the LLaVA family)  
- 4 closed-source VLMs (e.g., GPT-4, Claude 3)


🔥 **We are actively updating the [leaderboard](https://mj-bench.github.io/)!**  
You are welcome to submit your multimodal judge’s evaluation results on [our dataset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/MJ-Bench/MJ-Bench) to the [Hugging Face leaderboard](https://huggingface.co/spaces/MJ-Bench/MJ-Bench-Leaderboard).
