SLAKE

SLAKE is a benchmark for understanding images combined with text. The official description says: "SLAKE - medical visual question answering benchmark using radiology images". Below we describe in simple words what benchmarks of this type generally examine.

SLAKE measures understanding images combined with text. In detail, it checks:

• answering questions about images (figures, photos, charts, memes)
• reading text inside images and connecting it to the question
• visual reasoning such as counting, locating and comparing objects
• combining what is seen with general knowledge

The score is accuracy: the percentage of tasks answered or solved correctly. 100% means every task was solved perfectly; higher is better.
