Abstract
Most existing studies on evaluating text-to-image (T2I) models primarily focus on evaluating text-image alignment, image quality, and object composition capabilities, with comparatively fewer studies addressing the evaluation of the factuality of the synthesized images, particularly when the images involve knowledge-intensive concepts. In this work, we present T2I-FactualBench—the largest benchmark to date in terms of the number of concepts and prompts specifically designed to evaluate the factuality of knowledge-intensive concept generation. T2I-FactualBench consists of a three-tiered knowledge-intensive text-to-image generation framework, ranging from the basic memorization of individual knowledge concepts to the more complex composition of multiple knowledge concepts. We further introduce a multi-round visual question answering (VQA)-based evaluation framework to assesses the factuality of three-tiered knowledge-intensive text-to-image generation tasks. Experiments on T2I-FactualBench indicate that current state-of-the-art (SOTA) T2I models still leave significant room for improvement. We release our datasets and code at https://github.com/Safeoffellow/T2I-FactualBench.- Anthology ID:
