Hob-VL: A Benchmark for Visually Grounded Boolean Reasoning
Quick summary
arXiv:2610.01605v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Reliable visual reasoning requires composing multiple visual observations and returning consistent answers to logically equivalent questions. We introduce Hob-VL, a benchmark for visually grounded Boolean reasoning. Hob-VL comprises two tasks: (1) evaluating whether a Boolean rule holds in an image, and (2) identifying the (unique) object satisfying a Boolean description. Hob-VL contains 6,000 human-verified balanced Yes/No questions, each defined by a Boolean combination of ten visual statements, across 1,000 generated scenes and 46 diverse la
