## πŸ“Š ChartAlignBench
[**πŸ“– Paper**](https://arxiv.org/abs/2510.26781) | [**πŸ’» GitHub**](https://github.com/tianyi-lab/ChartAlignBench/)

ChartAlignBench is a multi-modal benchmark designed to evaluate vision-language models (VLMs) on dense-level chart grounding and multi-chart alignment to comprehensively assess fine-grained chart understanding in VLMs. 


### 🌐 Overview

ChartAlignBench contains 9K+ instances, divided into three evaluation subsets:-
1. Data Grounding & Alignment: Paired charts differ in underlying data values visualized by the chart.
2. Attribute Grounding & Alignment: Paired charts differ in visualization attribute e.g., color, legend or text style.
3. Robustness: Multiple variants of paired charts for Data Alignment, with different attributes across variants.

### πŸ“ƒ Instruction

For each subset, the test*.parquet files contain the annotations and image pairs pre-loaded for processing with HF Datasets.

```
from datasets import load_dataset

data_grounding_and_alignment_subset = load_dataset("umd-zhou-lab/ChartAlignBench", "data_grounding_and_alignment")
attribute_grounding_and_alignment_subset = load_dataset("umd-zhou-lab/ChartAlignBench", "attribute_grounding_and_alignment")
robustness_subset = load_dataset("umd-zhou-lab/ChartAlignBench", "robustness")

```
