Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) has emerged as a powerful paradigm for enhancing the capabilities of large language models. However, existing RAG evaluation predominantly focuses on text retrieval and relies on opaque, end-to-end assessments of generated outputs. To address these limitations, we introduce mmRAG, a modular benchmark designed for evaluating multi-modal RAG systems. Our benchmark integrates queries from six diverse question-answering datasets spanning text, tables, and knowledge graphs, which we uniformly convert into retrievable documents. To enable direct, granular evaluation of individual RAG components -- such as the accuracy of retrieval and query routing -- beyond end-to-end generation quality, we follow standard information retrieval procedures to annotate document relevance and derive dataset relevance. We establish baseline performance by evaluating a wide range of RAG implementations on mmRAG.
