# LACE-Bench: Localism-Aware Compositionality Evaluation Benchmark for Vision-Language Models
|
| 15 |
+
|
| 16 |
+
> **LACE-Bench** is a benchmark for evaluating *localism-aware compositionality* in vision-language models (VLMs) — the ability to selectively integrate local region-level semantics with global scene-level understanding. It comprises two complementary tasks: **LoGoCap** and **MMComE**.

## Tasks
|
| 31 |
+
|
| 32 |
+
### 1. LoGoCap — Multi-grained Local and Global Compositional Captioning
|
| 33 |
+
|
| 34 |
+
LoGoCap evaluates a model's *static selectivity*: can it simultaneously understand the global scene while identifying and grounding constituent local objects?
|
| 35 |
+
|
| 36 |
+
- **Local captioning**: given an atomic region (a single object marked with a colored bounding box), generate a region-specific caption.
|
| 37 |
+
- **Global captioning**: given a compound region (a group of atomic regions), generate a single coherent caption that integrates all constituent local parts while introducing holistic scene-level context (moods, relations, atmosphere) not present in any individual local caption.
|
| 38 |
+
|
| 39 |
+
Evaluation uses standard captioning metrics (BLEU, ROUGE-1, METEOR) against human-annotated reference captions.
|
| 40 |
+
|
| 41 |
+
### 2. MMComE — Multimodal Compositional Knowledge Editing
|
| 42 |
+
|
| 43 |
+
MMComE evaluates a model's *dynamic robustness*: can it apply a localized counterfactual edit (e.g., replacing *referee* with *spectator*) consistently across region-marked images, while preserving all unrelated global semantics?
|
| 44 |
+
|
| 45 |
+
A multimodal edit request is defined as a tuple `(I, r, ph → ph*)`, where:
|
| 46 |
+
- `I` is the image, `r` is the target region
|
| 47 |
+
- `ph` is the original phrase to be replaced, `ph*` is the counterfactual substitute
|
| 48 |
+
|
| 49 |
+
The model is evaluated on whether it correctly reflects `ph*` in both in-scope regions (edited) and correctly retains all out-of-scope regions (unedited).
|
| 50 |
+
|
| 51 |
+
|
| 52 |
+
## Intended Use
|
| 53 |
+
|
| 54 |
+
LACE-Bench is designed for:
|
| 55 |
+
|
| 56 |
+
- Evaluating **localism-aware compositionality** — whether VLMs can selectively deploy local and global compositional operations as the task demands
|
| 57 |
+
- Measuring **global binding stability**: how consistently local semantic units of atomic regions bind into global captions
|
| 58 |
+
- Quantifying **cross-scale interference**: the degree to which local counterfactual edits propagate into unintended global semantic regions
|
| 59 |
+
- Benchmarking **fine-tuning strategies** (e.g., LoRA, blur+bbox visual grounding) for compositional captioning -->
