New dataset and benchmark for ancient Chinese character exegesis released

Researchers have introduced Ancient Chinese Character Exegesis (ACCE), a new vision-language question answering task designed to model the scholarly process of analyzing ancient Chinese characters. To support ACCE, they developed the JieZi-Dataset, a large-scale, expert-audited dataset with over 500,000 question-answer pairs, and JieZi-Bench, an evaluation benchmark. Experiments show that current multimodal large language models perform well on basic identification but struggle with more complex aspects like glyph analysis and diachronic understanding, though fine-tuning on JieZi-Dataset significantly improves performance.
