# Dataset Description
<b>ContextualBench</b> consists of 6(categories) × 12 (instances) = 72 context instances, with each context instances containing 7 context-consistent images and 7 context-violating images. We design 4 visual reasoning tasks and collect human annotations.

# Dataset Construction
## Image Generation
We collect context instances from external database and formulate them as key-value pairs(as shown in <i>‘Constraint’</i> field of <b>Dataset Viewer</b>), then edit a subset of these pairs to make context-violating images. We generate images using text-to-image models.
Each image is generated iteratively until the following three conditions are met:
1. The image conforms to the given constraints.
2. There are no visual illusions in the image.
3. The image is free of ambiguity and potential offensiveness.

## Task Design
We design 3 visual reasoning tasks for all images in <b>ContextualBench</b>: visual question answer, image caption, and image identification. An additional image explanation task is designed for context-violating images.

## Image Annotation
For image caption, image identification, and image explanation, we collect 5 annotations from different human. For visual question answer, we generate Q-A pairs based on image caption following Q2 pipeline.

# Licensing Information
1. **Purpose:** The dataset was primarily designed for use as a test set.
2. **Commercial Use:** Commercially, the dataset may be used as a test set, but it's prohibited to use it as a training set.
3. **Rights on Images:** All rights to the images within the dataset are retained by the <b>ContextualBench</b> authors.
