GeoLaux: A Benchmark for Evaluating MLLMs' Geometry Performance on Long-Step Problems Requiring Auxiliary Lines
Geometry problem solving (GPS) poses significant challenges for Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) in diagram comprehension, knowledge application, long-step reasoning, and auxiliary line construction. However, current benchmarks lack fine-grained evaluation for long-step problems necessitating auxiliary construction. To address these limitations, we present GeoLaux, a fine-grained annotated dataset comprising 2186 calculation and proof problems. It features long-step reasoning (with an average solution length of 6.51 steps, maximum of 24 steps) and auxiliary line construction (required in 41.8% of problems). Building on the dataset, we conduct a comprehensive five-dimensional evaluation of 23 leading MLLMs. The evaluation yields three pivotal findings: First, models perform significantly worse on long-step problems compared to short-step ones, with 18 models exhibiting a performance drop of over 50%. Second, it is crucial to enhance models' understanding, awareness, and proficiency in auxiliary line construction, which is vital for overall geometric reasoning. Third, limited answer hints effectively improve process correctness, whereas explicit answers lead models to neglect intermediate reasoning steps. These findings position GeoLaux both to benchmark MLLMs geometry reasoning abilities and to guide their improvement. Data and code are available at https://github.com/Candice-yu/GeoLaux
