The Image-Grounded Language Understanding Evaluation (IGLUE) benchmark brings together—by both aggregating pre-existing datasets and creating new ones—visual question answering, cross-modal retrieval, grounded reasoning, and grounded entailment tasks across 20 diverse languages. The benchmark enables the evaluation of multilingual multimodal models for transfer learning, not only in a zero-shot setting, but also in newly defined few-shot learning setups.

Multicultural Reasoning over Vision and Language (MaRVL) is a dataset based on an ImageNet-style hierarchy representative of many languages and cultures (Indonesian, Mandarin Chinese, Swahili, Tamil, and Turkish). The selection of both concepts and images is entirely driven by native speakers. Afterwards, we elicit statements from native speakers about pairs of images. The task consists in discriminating whether each grounded statement is true or false.
