LOTUS: A Leaderboard for Detailed Image Captioning from Quality to Societal Bias and User Preferences
Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) have transformed image captioning, shifting from concise captions to detailed descriptions. We introduce LOTUS, a leaderboard for evaluating detailed captions, addressing three main gaps in existing evaluations: lack of standardized criteria, bias-aware assessments, and user preference considerations. LOTUS comprehensively evaluates various aspects, including caption quality (e.g., alignment, descriptiveness), risks (\eg, hallucination), and societal biases …

WTF is with every video having word-flash captions? The one in this toot is an example of one of multiple constant-flux caption style. THAT'S NOT HOW PEOPLE READ!
I can barely watch such videos. https://journa.host/@lolgop/115119135266797749

In contrast, natural language provides a more flexible, expressive, and interpretable way to represent emotions, offering a much broader source of supervision. Yet, leveraging s…
