Researchers have introduced READI, a new multimodal benchmark designed to evaluate how well AI models understand indirect speech acts (ISAs) within visual contexts. Existing benchmarks often fail to capture the pragmatic reasoning required for ISAs, especially in high-context languages like Korean. READI formulates this as vision-based pragmatic question answering (V-PQA) and supports evaluations in both English and Korean, revealing that current state-of-the-art models struggle with increasing levels of indirectness.
