# 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 |
+
## π 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).
