|
|
|
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. |
