## Abstract |
|
|
We introduce WorldVQA, a benchmark designed to evaluate the atomic vision-centric world knowledge of Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs). Current evaluations often conflate visual knowledge retrieval with reasoning. In contrast, WorldVQA decouples these capabilities to strictly measure "what the model memorizes." The benchmark assesses the atomic capability of grounding and naming visual entities across a stratified taxonomy, spanning from common head-class objects to long-tail rarities. We expect WorldVQA serves as a rigorous test for visual factuality, thereby establishing a standard for assessing the encyclopedic breadth and hallucination rates of current and next-generation frontier models. |

## Details |
|
|
|
|
|
**WorldVQA** is a meticulously curated benchmark designed to evaluate atomic vision-centric world knowledge in Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs). The dataset comprises **3,000 VQA pairs** across **8 categories**, with careful attention to linguistic and cultural diversity. |
|
|
|
|
|
> **Note:** Due to copyright concerns, the "People" category has been removed from this release. The original benchmark contains 3,500 VQA pairs across 9 categories. |

## Leaderboard |
|
|
|
|
|
Our evaluation reveals significant gaps in visual encyclopedic knowledge, with no model surpassing the 50% accuracy threshold. |
