MMAU-Pro: A Challenging and Comprehensive Benchmark for Audio General Intelligence

Paper Audios

MMAU-Pro is the most comprehensive benchmark to date for evaluating audio intelligence in multimodal models. It spans speech, environmental sounds, music, and their combinations—covering 49 distinct perceptual and reasoning skills.

The dataset contains 5,305 expert-annotated question–answer pairs, with audios sourced directly from the wild. It introduces several novel challenges overlooked by prior benchmarks, including:

  • Long-form audio understanding (up to 10 minutes)
  • Multi-audio reasoning
  • Spatial audio perception
  • Multicultural music reasoning
  • Voice-based STEM and world-knowledge QA
  • Instruction-following with verifiable constraints
  • Open-ended QA in addition to MCQs

🚀 Usage

You can load the dataset via Hugging Face datasets:

from datasets import load_dataset
ds = load_dataset("gamma-lab-umd/MMAU-Pro")

For evaluation, we provide:

  • MCQ scoring via embedding similarity (NV-Embed-v2)
  • Open-ended QA with LLM-as-a-judge
  • Regex based string matching for Instruction Following

🧪 Baselines & Model Performance

We benchmarked 22 leading models on MMAU-Pro.

  • Gemini 2.5 Flash (closed-source): 59.2% avg. accuracy
  • Audio Flamingo 3 (open-source): 51.7%
  • Qwen2.5-Omni-7B: 52.2%
  • Humans: ~78%

See full results in the paper.


🌍 Multicultural Music Coverage

MMAU-Pro includes music from 8 diverse regions: • Western, Chinese, Indian, European, African, Latin American, Middle Eastern, Other Asian

This reveals clear biases: models perform well on Western/Chinese but poorly on Indian/Latin American music.
