MLLM-as-a-Judge Exhibits Model Preference Bias

arXiv CS.CV

ArXi:2604.11589v1 Announce Type: new Automatic evaluation using multimodal large language models (MLLMs), commonly referred to as MLLM-as-a-Judge, has been widely used to measure model performance. If such MLLM-as-a-Judge methods were biased, they could distort model comparisons and benchmark-driven scientific progress. However, it remains unclear to what extent MLLM-as-a-Judge methods favor or disfavor text generated by specific MLLMs. In this study, we propose Philautia-Eval to investigate such model-specific preference bias.
