Why it matters
Memes rely on cultural knowledge beyond visual content, and this benchmark attempts to decompose interpretation into components. It could help identify gaps in LVLM understanding.
Motivation
Large vision-language models have improved at describing visual content, but accurate descriptions do not ensure interpretation when meaning depends on knowledge beyond the pixels.
