SalArt-VQA is a diagnostic benchmark that tests whether vision‑language models can understand salient artifacts in AI‑generated images. It includes 950 images and 3,681 multiple‑choice questions that assess artifact presence, semantic localization, spatial grounding, and evidence‑grounded defect identification. The benchmark reveals that high image‑level detection accuracy can mask failures in grounded understanding, showing a trade‑off between sensitivity and calibration.
arXiv:2608. 07435v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-language models (VLMs) are improving rapidly, but benchmark development lags behind, making weaknesses hard to identify.
arXiv:2606. 16082v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-Language Models (VLMs) have been increasingly adopted for Image Quality Assessment (IQA).
arXiv:2608.20713v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Generative AI can now produce highly realistic images, yet current models still exhibit subtle but critical defects that undermine their reliability. W...

arXiv:2607. 16311v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-language models (VLMs) often answer visual questions using learned language and category priors rather than grounding their predictions in the image itself.

arXiv:2602. 00344v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: While Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) is one of the dominant paradigms for enhancing Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) on knowledge-based VQA tasks, recent work attributes RAG failures to insufficient attention towards the retrieved context, proposing to reduce the attention allocated to image tokens.
arXiv:2606. 22437v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We conduct a systematic study of 18 widely used vision-language benchmarks and identify three major issues: 1) many items do not rely on visual cues and therefore fail to effectively measure multimodal understanding; 2) many items are already close to performance saturation for current LVLMs, which limits their discriminative power; 3) a small number of anomalous items affect the reliability of evaluation results.
Large vision-language models can recognize the objects and attributes in a crowded scene yet assign an attribute to the wrong same-class instance. Generic visual-question-answering accuracy marks the...
arXiv:2607. 21155v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Knowledge-Intensive Visual Question Answering (KI-VQA) benchmarks evaluate Vision-Language Models (VLMs) as multimodal knowledge assistants by requiring external information beyond a provided image to answer questions.
Current evaluation protocols for Vision-Language Models (VLMs) in Radiology Report Generation (RRG) rely on report-level metrics that measure lexical overlap or aggregate clinical correctness. However, such metrics do not test whether individual diagnostic statements stem from the actual pathological evidence visible in the image.
arXiv:2607. 01973v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-Language Models (VLMs) are increasingly applied in medical tasks such as pathology description, report generation, and visual question answering.
