A Dataset for Dynamic Human Preferences for Vision Language Models
Hannah Gao, Dylan Hadfield-Menell, Rachel Ma
Abstract
Given the increased adoption of Vision Language Models (VLMs) in human-interactive settings, it is important that we evaluate how well these models can adapt to real-time preferences for different users. While an increasing number of vision-language benchmarks have recently been introduced, they focus largely on evaluating static capabilities and generally-held preferences learned from extensive training data. This work introduces a new benchmark for evaluating the ability of VLMs to understand dynamic human-preferences, i.e. preferences that are passed in-context at inference time. We provide an automated pipeline for generating this benchmark with variations on image dependence, a dynamic multi-modal human-preference dataset, and evaluations of state-of-the-art models on the novel benchmark.
