Google researchers introduce MetaCLUE, the first comprehensive benchmark and dataset for evaluating AI's understanding, localization, and generation of visual metaphors. State-of-the-art vision-language models consistently demonstrate significant limitations in handling the abstract and non-literal aspects of these visual expressions.
Key insights
- Current state-of-the-art vision and language models consistently fail to grasp the abstract relationships and secondary concepts central to visual metaphors.
- Models frequently rely on literal object recognition rather than deep conceptual understanding, leading to poor performance when distinguishing metaphors from similar non-metaphorical symbolic images.
- Standard automatic evaluation metrics (e.g., FID, CLIP Similarity) do not always correlate with human perception of metaphorical quality in generated images, indicating a need for new evaluation paradigms.
