构建首个基于维基百科的视觉问答基准,要求结合图文与外部知识答题。
WikiVQABench: A Knowledge-Grounded Visual Question Answering Benchmark from Wikipedia and Wikidata

- 用大模型生成候选题集,再经人工审核确保事实正确性
- 15个模型测试准确率从24.7%到75.6%,差距显著
- 适合评估视觉语言模型的知识推理能力
视觉问答基准大多聚焦仅靠图像内容即可解答的任务,但现实场景中常需图像外的外部知识。本文提出WikiVQABench,通过系统整合维基百科图片、文章标题及维基数据的结构化知识构建知识增强型视觉问答基准。采用大语言模型(LLMs)生成候选多选题-答案对,所有样本均由人工标注者审核,确保事实准确性、图文一致性,并保证每个问题需结合外部知识才能正确回答。该基准包含大量维基百科图像及其精心设计的多选题,用于评测知识感知型视觉语言模型(VLMs)。对15个VLM(参数量256M–90B)的评估显示,准确率范围为24.7%至75.6%,表明该基准能有效区分模型在知识密集型推理上的能力差异。数据集与评测代码已公开。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Visual Question Answering (VQA) benchmarks have largely emphasized perception-based tasks that can be solved from visual content alone. In contrast, many real-world scenarios require external knowledge that is not directly observable in the image to answer correctly. We introduce WikiVQABench, a human-curated knowledge-grounded VQA benchmark constructed by systematically combining Wikipedia images, their associated article captions, and structured knowledge from Wikidata. Our pipeline uses large language models (LLMs) to generate candidate multiple-choice image-question-answer sets. All generated instances are subsequently reviewed and curated by human annotators to ensure factual correctness, visual-text consistency, and that each question requires external knowledge in addition to visual evidence for correct resolution. WikiVQABench comprises a substantial collection of Wikipedia images with curated multiple-choice questions designed to benchmark knowledge-aware vision-language models (VLMs). Evaluation of fifteen VLMs (256M-90B parameters) reveals a wide performance range (24.7%-75.6% accuracy), demonstrating that the benchmark effectively discriminates model capabilities on knowledge-intensive reasoning. The dataset and benchmarking code are publicly available.
