## Introduction / Main Post: BloomBench: A Bilingual Multimodal VLM Evaluation Benchmark Based on Bloom's Taxonomy

BloomBench is a cognition-driven bilingual (English-Arabic) multimodal benchmark that organizes tasks according to Bloom's Revised Taxonomy, evaluating the multimodal reasoning capabilities of vision-language models (VLMs) across six cognitive levels from Remember to Create.

## Project Background and Motivation

Most existing vision-language model (VLM) benchmarks focus on accuracy or headline scores for isolated tasks, making it difficult to reveal the true cognitive-level capability distribution of models. BloomBench is designed to change this situation—it systematically evaluates the multimodal reasoning capabilities of VLMs from a cognitive science perspective, based on Bloom's Revised Taxonomy.

**Core Design Principles:**
- Diagnostic Cognitive Profiling: Not just "what can it do", but "how well does it perform at each cognitive level"
- Cross-Language Stress Testing: Parallel bilingual support for English and Arabic, going beyond Anglocentrism
- Balance Between Scalability and High Quality: Semi-automated construction process + hybrid validation mechanism

## Six Cognitive Levels of Bloom's Taxonomy

BloomBench organizes evaluation tasks according to the six levels of Bloom's Taxonomy:

## 1. Remember

Capabilities at the recognition and recall level:
- Object recognition in images
- Attribute memory (color, shape, material)
- Activity recognition
- Symbol and text recognition

## 2. Understand

Comprehension of combinations and relationships:
- Semantic relationship understanding
- Emotion understanding
- Paraphrase style understanding
- Vision-language alignment

## 3. Apply

Applying knowledge in new visual contexts:
- Multimodal logic (negation, structure)
- Rule application
- Context transfer

## 4. Analyze

Decomposition and reasoning:
- Logical/scientific reasoning
- Context analysis
- Chart/table interpretation
- Atypical attribute analysis

## 5. Evaluate

Judgment and decision-making:
- Consistency/hallucination detection
- Harmfulness and safety assessment
- Quality evaluation
