Abstract
Most existing studies on evaluating text-toimage (T2I) models primarily focus on evaluating text-image alignment, image quality, and object composition capabilities, with comparatively fewer studies addressing the evaluation of the factuality of the synthesized images, particularly when the images involve knowledgeintensive concepts. In this work, we present T2I-FactualBench-the largest benchmark to date in terms of the number of concepts and prompts specifically designed to evaluate the factuality of knowledge-intensive concept generation. T2I-FactualBench consists of a threetiered knowledge-intensive text-to-image generation framework, ranging from the basic memorization of individual knowledge concepts to the more complex composition of multiple knowledge concepts. We further introduce a multi-round visual question answering (VQA)based evaluation framework to assesses the factuality of three-tiered knowledge-intensive text-to-image generation tasks. Experiments on T2I-FactualBench indicate that current state-ofthe-art (SOTA) T2I models still leave significant room for improvement. We release our datasets and code at https://github.com/ Safeoffellow/T2I-FactualBench .
