Wang and colleagues define Image Factuality Assessment, which asks whether the situation shown in an image is supported by external evidence without providing the system a textual claim to verify.

The authors built EviLens, an expert-reviewed benchmark of 10,174 images, comprising 3,114 supported and 7,060 refuted cases.
