<h1>COLUMBUS: Evaluating <ins>CO</ins>gnitive <ins>L</ins>ateral <ins>U</ins>nderstanding through <ins>M</ins>ultiple-choice re<ins>BUS</ins>es</h1>
Inspired by the demonstration of creative problem-solving in the story of *Columbus' Egg*, this repository presents a benchmark of multiple-choice rebus puzzles. These are designed to challenge the lateral thinking skills of visual question answering (VQA) models.

## Uses
This dataset is used to evaluate the lateral thinking skills of vision-language models.
## Fields
- `options`: the four multiple-choice options for a puzzle.
- `correct`: the correct answer to the puzzle (part of `options`).
- `is_icon`: flag to denote if the puzzle belongs to COLUMBUS-<span style="font-variant:small-caps;">icon</span> (if true) or COLUMBUS-<span style="font-variant:small-caps;">text</span> (if false).
- `is_overlap`: flag to denote if the puzzle belongs to the subset of overlapping puzzles that have both a textual and icon variant.
