A multi-label benchmark with aggregated annotator votes shows recent MLLMs have advanced on visual emotion prediction but still leave substantial room for improvement.

Record completeness
Claims
Recent MLLMs show measurable progress on visual emotion prediction with the new multi-label benchmark, yet substantial room for improvement remains and LLM-as-a-judge does not consistently improve performance.
Aggregating independent selections from twenty annotators per image produces a reliable and representative distribution of the emotions actually evoked by each image.
MultiEmo-Bench supplies 10,344 images with aggregated multi-label emotion votes from 20 annotators each to evaluate MLLMs on dominant emotion and full distribution prediction.
