Domain presence in VMetaphor-Bench (Chen et al., 2026): two multiple-choice questions per generated image on whether the source and the target domain are recognizable, answered by a Qwen3.5-27B judge. Accuracy in percent; higher is better. Conceptual prompts, which state only the metaphorical idea.

Metric: MCQ accuracy (%; the two questions per image on whether both the source and the target domain appear; the generated image is judged by Qwen3.5-27B on multiple-choice questions (four options including cannot be determined) built from each metaphor's structured annotation; 1,500 visual metaphors curated from real creative imagery; conceptual prompts that state only the metaphorical idea). Source: arxiv.org. Saturation forecast: Rough model projection: around 2026. 11 models tracked.
