Benchmarking Multimodal Models for Ukrainian Language Understanding Across Academic and Cultural Domains

While the evaluation of multimodal English-centric models is an active area of research with numerous benchmarks, there is a profound lack of benchmarks or evaluation suites for low- and mid-resource languages. We introduce ZNO-Vision, a comprehensive multimodal Ukrainian-centric benchmark derived from standardized university entrance examination (ZNO). The benchmark consists of over 4,300 expert-crafted questions spanning 12 academic disciplines, including mathematics, physics, chemistry, and humanities. We evaluated the performance of both open-source models and API providers, finding that only a handful of models performed above baseline. Alongside the new benchmark, we performed the first evaluation study of multimodal text generation for the Ukrainian language: we measured caption generation quality on the Multi30K-UK dataset, translated the VQA benchmark into Ukrainian, and measured performance degradation relative to original English versions. Lastly, we tested a few models from a cultural perspective on knowledge of national cuisine. We believe our work will advance multimodal generation capabilities for the Ukrainian language and our approach could be useful for other low-resource languages.
