TimeBlind (lmms-eval packaging)

This repository packages the TimeBlind benchmark for direct use with lmms-eval (task name: timeblind).

TimeBlind is a spatio-temporal compositionality benchmark for Video LLMs. Each instance pairs 2 videos × 2 questions (4 question–video combinations) whose ground-truth answers follow the pattern (yes, no, no, yes) / (A, B, B, A), so a model must genuinely ground temporal relations in the video rather than exploit language priors.

🏠 Home page: https://baiqi-li.github.io/timeblind_project/
🖥️ Code / standalone evaluation: https://github.com/Baiqi-Li/TimeBlind
🤗 Original dataset: https://huggingface.co/datasets/BaiqiL/TimeBlind
📖 Paper: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2602.00288

Files

data.jsonl — 2400 rows (600 instances; 300 yes/no + 300 multiple-choice). Fields per row:
- index: global question index; every 4 consecutive indices form one instance with roles (q0_v0, q0_v1, q1_v0, q1_v1)
- video_path: relative video path (TimeBlind/videos/...)
- question: the question text
- answer: ground-truth answer (yes/no or A/B)
- type: yes_no or multiple_choice
videos.zip — 1200 mp4 videos under videos/; lmms-eval downloads and extracts this automatically.

Metrics

I_Acc (instance accuracy) is the primary metric; Q_Acc, V_Acc and binary Acc are also reported.

Usage with lmms-eval

python -m lmms_eval \
    --model qwen2_5_vl \
    --model_args pretrained=Qwen/Qwen2.5-VL-3B-Instruct \
    --tasks timeblind \
    --batch_size 1 \
    --log_samples \
    --output_path ./logs/timeblind
