What is CharXiv-D?
CharXiv-D is the descriptive questions subset of the CharXiv benchmark, designed to assess multimodal large language models' ability to extract basic information from scientific charts. It contains descriptive questions covering information extraction, enumeration, pattern recognition, and counting across 2,323 diverse charts from arXiv papers, all curated and verified by human experts.
Tier A
Widely used: a lab reports it, or 50 or more models are scored on it.
How much stands behind a tier: usage, who backs it, a confirmed line from its own site or paper, and a clear read on X. High with three of the four, medium with two, low otherwise.
- 68 models scored
- in curated RL directories (1 pt)
How we got to tier A
- Adoption: 68 models scored. Tier A.
- On X: unclear, none buzz No move.
- In curated RL directories: 1 point, a floor of none.
- Not yet confirmed by a line from its own site or paper.
A clear view on X moves a tier one step up or down; most entries don't move. How tiers work.
Not on the map yet: no line from its own site or paper places it in a domain.
