## Introduction 



`FAMMA` is a multi-modal financial Q&A benchmark dataset. The questions encompass three heterogeneous image types - tables, charts and text & math screenshots - and span eight subfields in finance, comprehensively covering topics across major asset classes. Additionally, all the questions are categorized by three difficulty levels — easy, medium, and hard - and are available in three languages — English, Chinese, and French. Furthermore, the questions are divided into two types: multiple-choice and open questions.

More importantly, `FAMMA` provides a "live" benchmark for evaluating financial analysis capabilities of LLMs. The benchmark continuously collects new questions from real-world financial professionals, ensuring up-to-date and contamination-free evaluation. 


The leaderboard is regularly updated and can be accessed at https://famma-bench.github.io/famma/.  

The project code is available at https://github.com/famma-bench/bench-script.



## NEWS

🔥 **Latest Updates**:
- [2025/02]  Release of `release_v2501` dataset.
- [2025/01]  Release of `release_v2406` dataset, now including answers and explanations with enhanced quality.
- [2024/06]  Initial public release of `FAMMA` benchmark (based on the `release_v2406` dataset), along with our paper: [FAMMA: A Benchmark for Financial Domain Multilingual Multimodal Question Answering](https://arxiv.org/abs/2410.04526).


## Dataset Versions

FAMMA is continuously updated with new questions. We provide different versions of the dataset:

* `release_v2406`: The release containing 1935 questions, collected from online sources. Apart from the questions, both answers and explanations are provided.
* `release_v2501`: The release containing 100 questions, created by invited experts. Only the questions are provided.
  

##  Dataset Structure 

- idx：a unique identifier for the index of the question in the dataset.
- question_id: a unique identifier for the question across the whole dataset: {language}_{main_question_id}_{sub_question_id}_{release_version}.
- context: relevant background information related to the question.
- question: the specific query being asked.
- options: the specific query being asked.
- image_1- image_7: directories of images referenced in the context or question.
- image_type: type of the image, e.g., chart, table, screenshot.
- answers: a concise and accurate response. **(public on release v2406, non-public on the live set release v2501)**
- explanation：a detailed justification for the answer. **(public on release v2406, non-public on the live set release v2501)**
- topic_difficulty: a measure of the question's complexity based on the level of reasoning required.
- question_type: categorized as either multiple-choice or open-ended.
- subfield: the specific area of expertise to which the question belongs, categorized into eight subfields.
- language：the language in which the question text is written.
- main_question_id：a unique identifier for the question within its context; questions with the same context share the same ID.
- sub_question_id：a unique identifier for the question within its corresponding main question.
- ans_image_1 - ans_image_6： **(public on release v2406, non-public on the live set release v2501)**
