CulturalFrames: Assessing Cultural Expectation Alignment in Text-to-Image Models and Evaluation Metrics
The increasing ubiquity of text-to-image (T2I) models as tools for visual content generation raises concerns about their ability to accurately represent diverse cultural contexts. In this work, we present the first study to systematically quantify the alignment of T2I models and evaluation metrics with respect to both explicit (stated) and implicit (unstated, implied) cultural… See the full description on the dataset page: https://huggingface.co/datasets/mair-lab/CulturalFrames.CulturalBiases-2025Preprint : [https://arxiv.org/pdf/2505.14729?]
CulturalVQA
CulturalVQA
Foundation models and vision-language pre-training have notably advanced Vision Language Models (VLMs), enabling multimodal processing of visual and linguistic data. However, their performance has been typically assessed on general scene understanding - recognizing objects, attributes, and actions - rather than cultural comprehension. We introduce CulturalVQA, a visual question-answering benchmark aimed at assessing VLM's geo-diverse cultural understanding.
