SDGBiasBench is a large-scale benchmark suite designed to evaluate and mitigate biases in vision–language models (VLMs) when reasoning about Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It contains 500k expert‑involved multiple‑choice questions and 50k regression tasks, allowing assessment of both decision‑level and estimation‑level bias. Experiments show that current VLMs exhibit intrinsic SDG bias, often relying on priors rather than multimodal evidence, and the proposed CADE method significantly reduces this bias, improving accuracy and reducing mean absolute error.
