✨Benchmark Designers Should "Train on the Test Set" to Expose Exploitable Non-Visual Shortcuts

📝 Summary:
Multimodal benchmarks are vulnerable to models exploiting non-visual shortcuts. This paper proposes designers train on the test set to diagnose and mitigate these biases, leading to more robust benchmarks for MLLM evaluation and revealing widespread issues.
