+ # Visual Equation Solving Benchmark
15
+
16
+ This repository contains the dataset introduced in the paper:
17
+
18
+ **Can Vision-Language Models Solve Visual Math Equations?** which is currently accepted in EMNLP 2025 (Main)
19
+
20
+ > Despite strong performance in vision and language understanding, Vision-Language Models (VLMs) struggle on tasks requiring integrated perception and symbolic reasoning. This benchmark evaluates VLMs on **visual equation solving**, where systems of linear equations are represented using **object icons** as variables and **icon repetition** as coefficients.
21
+
22
+ ---
23
+
24
+ ## πŸ“– Overview
25
+
26
+ The **Visual Equation Solving Benchmark** tests whether VLMs can:
27
+ 1. **Recognize variables** represented as object icons.
28
+ 2. **Count coefficients** by inferring from repeated instances of icons.
29
+ 3. **Integrate recognition with symbolic reasoning** to solve equations.
30
+
31
+ We provide multiple settings:
32
+ - **Symbolic equations** (textual form, rendered as images).
33
+ - **Visual-symbolic equations** (icons for variables, numeric text for coefficients).
34
+ - **Fully visual equations** (both variables and coefficients represented visually).
