To address this gap, we introduce TomaMMU, a large-scale Tomato leaf disease MultiModal Understanding dataset, alongside TomaBench, a benchmark for evaluating VLMs on tomato disease understanding. TomaMMU comprises 28,808 high-quality images spanning 15 categories and 213,119 human-annotated visual question-answer pairs, generated through a three-stage pipeline comprising Data Collection, Human Annotation, and Question-Answer Generation.
arXiv:2607. 23368v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-Language Models (VLMs) are demonstrating significant capabilities in medical tasks like radiology analysis, yet providing faithful and interpretable explanations remains a key consideration for their responsible deployment in clinical settings.
