A key question for understanding multimodal performance is analyzing the ability for a model to have basic vs. detailed understanding of images. These capabilities are needed for models to be used in real-world tasks, such as an assistant in the physical world. While there are many dataset for object detection and recognition, there are few that test spatial reasoning and other more targeted task such as visual prompting. The datasets that do exist are static and publicly available, thus there is concern that current AI models could be trained on these datasets, which makes evaluation with them unreliable. Thus we created a dataset that is procedurally generated and synthetic, and tests spatial reasoning, visual prompting, as well as object recognition and detection. The datasets are challenging for most AI models and by being procedurally generated the benchmark can be regenerated ad infinitum to create new test sets to combat the effects of models being trained on this data and the results being due to memorization.

This dataset has 4 sub-tasks: Object Recognition, Visual Prompting. Spatial Reasoning, and Object Detection.

For each sub-task, the images consist of images of pasted objects on random images. The objects are from the COCO object list and are gathered from internet data. Each object is masked using the DeepLabV3 object detection model and then pasted on a random background. The objects are pasted in one of four locations, top, left, bottom, and right, with small amounts of random rotation, positional jitter, and scale.

There are 2 conditions “ single” and “ pairs”, for images with one and two objects. Each test set uses 20 sets of object classes (either 20 single objects or 20 pairs of objects), with four potential locations and four backgrounds classes, and we sample 4 instances of object and background. This results in 1280 images per condition and sub-task.

    {"id": "0", "image": "val/book/left/burial_chamber/0000083_0000010.jpg", "prompt": "What object is in the red box in this image?", "ground_truth": "book"}

Example for "pairs":

    {"id": "0", "image": "val/keyboard_surfboard/left/auto_showroom/0000023_0000044_0000030.jpg", "prompt": "What objects are in the red and yellow box in this image?", "ground_truth": "['keyboard', 'surfboard']"}

Spatial Reasoning

Answer type: Multiple Choice

Example for "single"

    {"id": "0", "image": "val/book/left/burial_chamber/0000083_0000010.jpg", "prompt": "Is the book on the bottom, right, top, or left of the image?\nAnswer with one of (top, bottom, right, or left) only.", "ground_truth": "left", "target_options": ["top", "bottom", "right", "left"]}

Example for "pairs"

    {"id": "0", "image": "val/keyboard_surfboard/left/auto_showroom/0000023_0000044_0000030.jpg", "prompt": "Is the keyboard right, above, left, or below the surfboard in the image?\nAnswer with one of (below, above, right, or left) only.", "ground_truth": "left", "target_options": ["right", "left", "below", "above"]}

What are the evaluation disaggregation pivots/attributes to run metrics for?

Disaggregation by (group by):

"single": (left, right, top, bottom)
"pairs": (left, right, above, below) 

Object Detection
