Abstracts: May 6, 2024 Microsoft Research Podcast

Members of the research community at Microsoft work continuously to advance their respective fields. Abstracts brings its audience to the cutting edge with them through short, compelling conversations about new and noteworthy achievements.In this episode, Senior Principal Researcher Michel Galley (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/people/mgalley/) joins host Gretchen Huizinga to discuss “MathVista: Evaluating Mathematical Reasoning of Foundation Models in Visual Contexts (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/publication/mathvista-evaluating-mathematical-reasoning-of-foundation-models-in-visual-contexts/),” which was accepted at the 2024 International Conference on Learning Representations (ICLR). MathVista, an open-source benchmark, combines new and existing data to measure how good models are at solving a variety of math problems that involve processing images as well as text, helping to gain insight into their reasoning capabilities.Read the paperGet the code & dataset
