VISTA-Bench: Do Vision-Language Models Really Understand Visualized Text as Well as Pure Text?

arXiv CS.CV

ArXi:2602.04802v2 Announce Type: replace Vision-Language Models (VLMs) have achieved impressive performance in cross-modal understanding across textual and visual inputs, yet existing benchmarks predominantly focus on pure-text queries. In real-world scenarios, language also frequently appears as visualized text embedded in images, raising the question of whether current VLMs handle such input requests comparably. We
