Beyond Bag-of-Words: Diagnosing Compositional Binding Failures in Vision-Language Models

The paper introduces Auto-Comp, a fully automated, concept-driven pipeline that generates photorealistic compositional benchmarks for vision‑language models. Auto‑Comp creates paired Minimal and Contextual samples for each concept, enabling isolation of core binding abilities from visio‑linguistic complexity. Evaluations across 25 models reveal consistent failures in attribute and relational binding, with context helping relational tasks but hindering attribute tasks due to visual clutter.

The Percept-V Challenge: Can Multimodal LLMs Crack Simple Perception Problems?

The paper introduces Percept-V, a dataset of 6,000 program-generated images across 30 domains designed to test simple visual perception skills from the TVPS-4 framework. Experiments show that state‑of‑the‑art multimodal large language models perform poorly compared to humans, especially as image complexity increases, and that fine‑tuning yields only limited generalization to related datasets. The study highlights specific perception skills that remain challenging for current models.
