New TestHallVQA benchmark probes LVLMs' reasoning with redundant context

Researchers have introduced TestHallVQA, a new benchmark designed to evaluate Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) on their ability to perform document-level reasoning, particularly in the presence of redundant or irrelevant information. This benchmark aims to address limitations in existing VQA datasets by combining the scale of documents with the complexity of human examinations. TestHallVQA also introduces a novel metric, F1-R extsuperscript{2}, to assess both reasoning capability and robustness against contextual redundancy. AI

IMPACT This benchmark could drive improvements in LVLM robustness and reasoning capabilities, particularly in complex, real-world scenarios with noisy data.

    TestHallVQA: Exploring LVLMs' Document-Level Reasoning under Redundant Contexts from Scientific Exams

    arXiv:2609.13158v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large Vision--Language Models (LVLMs) are increasingly expected to perform visual question answering (VQA) over planar media. However, existing planar VQA benchmarks typically emphasize isolated challenges: some emphasize long-docum…
