### Dataset Description

<!-- Provide a longer summary of what this dataset is. -->
[CVQA](https://cvqa-benchmark.org/) is multilingual, culturally nuanced VQA benchmark that includes a diverse set of languages, many of them underrepresented and understudied in NLP.

Here we provide the Romanian split of CVQA. This dataset is used as a benchmark and is part of the evaluation protocol for Romanian VLMs proposed in *"Înțelegi românește?" A Recipe for Romanian Vision-Language Models* ([Masala et al., 2026](https://arxiv.org/abs/2605.31401).
