Issue: Get N/A when evaluating lmms-lab/llava-onevision-qwen2-7b-ov on mathvista_testmini, docvqa_test, and infovqa_test
Root cause: Validation Gap

1. mathvista_testmini:
```
{
  "results": {
    "mathvista_testmini": {
      " ": " ",
      "alias": "mathvista_testmini"
    },
    "mathvista_testmini_cot": {
      "alias": " - mathvista_testmini_cot",
      "gpt_eval_score,none": 29.2,
      "gpt_eval_score_stderr,none": "N/A",
      "submission,none": [],
      "submission_stderr,none": []
    },
    "mathvista_testmini_format": {
      "alias": " - mathvista_testmini_format",
      "gpt_eval_score,none": 39.0,
      "gpt_eval_score_stderr,none": "N/A",
      "submission,none": [],
      "submission_stderr,none": []
    },
    "mathvista_testmini_solution": {
      "alias": " - mathvista_testmini_solution",
      "gpt_eval_score,none": 35.7,
      "gpt_eval_score_stderr,none": "N/A",
      "submission,none": [],
      "submission_stderr,none": []
    }
  },
```

2. docvqa_test
```
"results": {
    "docvqa_test": {
      "alias": "docvqa_test",
      "anls,none": [],
      "anls_stderr,none": [],
      "submission,none": null,
      "submission_stderr,none": "N/A"
    }
  },
  "group_subtasks": {
    "docvqa_test": []
  },
```
3. infovqa_test
```
"results": {
    "infovqa_test": {
      "alias": "infovqa_test",
      "submission,none": null,
      "submission_stderr,none": "N/A"
    }
  },
  "group_subtasks": {
    "infovqa_test": []
  },
```

1. For mathvista, you can see that only stderr has NA/
2. For infovqa and docvqa, you are testing the test split, which you have to submit the generated submission file to their website. If you evaluate the val split, you will get the score

@kcz358 Thanks.
The results for mathvista_testmini is obtained by evaluating `lmms-lab/llava-onevision-qwen2-7b-ov`. In LLaVA-OneVision paper, this model achieves 63.2% on mathvista_testmini. As you can see, none of those numbers are close to 63.2%. I thought there should be some numbers in 
```
"mathvista_testmini": {
      " ": " ",
      "alias": "mathvista_testmini"
    },
```

Have you checked that the gpt extraction works well? Sometimes this could be the reason because it needs gpt to extract answer

Not sure where is the gpt extraction. I get the following two folders:

* lmms-lab__llava-onevision-qwen2-7b-ov/
    * 20250220_093829_results.json
    * 20250220_093829_samples_mathvista_testmini_cot.jsonl 
    * 20250220_093829_samples_mathvista_testmini_format.jsonl 
    * 20250220_093829_samples_mathvista_testmini_solution.jsonl 
* submissions
    * mathvista_testmini_scores.json

1. The content in `mathvista_testmini_scores.json` is something like:
```

        "query": "Hint: Please answer the question requiring a floating-point number with one decimal place and provide the final value, e.g., 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, at the end.\nQuestion: When a spring does work on an object, we cannot find the work by simply multiplying the spring force by the object's displacement. The reason is that there is no one value for the force-it changes. However, we can split the displacement up into an infinite number of tiny parts and then approximate the force in each as being constant. Integration sums the work done in all those parts. Here we use the generic result of the integration.\r\n\r\nIn Figure, a cumin canister of mass $m=0.40 \\mathrm{~kg}$ slides across a horizontal frictionless counter with speed $v=0.50 \\mathrm{~m} / \\mathrm{s}$. It then runs into and compresses a spring of spring constant $k=750 \\mathrm{~N} / \\mathrm{m}$. When the canister is momentarily stopped by the spring, by what distance $d$ is the spring compressed?",

It is being done during postprocessing. You might need to check whether there are any errors during that time. It will be log to the screen.
