See-or-Guess VQA - Multi-Signal: leaderboard

The multi-signal variant of See-or-Guess VQA (2026), a probe of how much vision-language models rely on textual priors: the source question fused with sub-questions elicited turn by turn, scored as accuracy in percent with the image, judged by Qwen3-14B. Higher is better.

Metric: Multi-Signal variant (source question fused with sub-questions elicited turn by turn in a chat): accuracy (%) with the image over 540 images from 21 public benchmarks in six reasoning categories; Qwen3-14B judges answer equivalence (yes/no), lenient extraction of answers after a missing </think> tag. Source: arxiv.org. Saturation forecast: Around March 2027. 11 models tracked.
