CiteVQA requires models to cite specific document regions with bounding boxes alongside answers and finds that even the strongest MLLMs frequently cite the wrong region, with top SAA scores of only 76.0 for closed models and 22.5 for open-source ones.

LAION-400M: Open Dataset of CLIP-Filtered 400 Million Image-Text Pairs
Baseline reference. 64% of citing Pith papers use this work as a benchmark or comparison.
abstract
Multi-modal language-vision models trained on hundreds of millions of image-text pairs (e.g. CLIP, DALL-E) gained a recent surge, showing remarkable capability to perform zero- or few-shot learning and transfer even in absence of per-sample labels on target image data. Despite this trend, to date there has been no publicly available datasets of sufficient scale for training such models from scratch. To address this issue, in a community effort we build and release for public LAION-400M, a dataset with CLIP-filtered 400 million image-text pairs, their CLIP embeddings and kNN indices that allow efficient similarity search.
