Benchmarking the Explanatory Quality of Open-Weight Vision-Language Models in Face Recognition

The paper introduces a benchmarking framework that evaluates open-weight Vision‑Language Models (VLMs) for face recognition by treating explanation quality as a core metric. It defines two key criteria for explanations—relevance, meaning reliance on identity‑stable facial features, and faithfulness, meaning alignment with the visible image content without hallucinations. Using this framework, the authors benchmark several VLM families, jointly assessing face verification accuracy and explanation quality, and find that current models still exhibit shortcomings in their explanations, underscoring the importance of explanation metrics for a complete performance assessment.
