ROPE

We introduce Recognition-based Object Probing Evaluation (ROPE), an automated evaluation protocol that considers the distribution of object classes within a single image during testing and uses visual referring prompts to eliminate ambiguity. Different types of instruction settings of ROPE. In a single turn of prompting without format enforcement, we probe the model to recognize the 5 objects referred to by the visual prompts (a) one at a time in the single-object setting and (b) concurrently in the multi-object setting. We further enforce the model to follow the format template and decode only the object tokens for each of the five objects (c) without output manipulation in student forcing and (d) replacing all previously generated object tokens with the ground truth classes in teacher forcing.
