TDIUC (Task Directed Image Understanding Challenge)

Introduced by Kushal Kafle et al. in An Analysis of Visual Question Answering Algorithms1 Jan 2017 archive 2025-07-28

Task Directed Image Understanding Challenge (TDIUC) dataset is a Visual Question Answering dataset which consists of 1.6M questions and 170K images sourced from MS COCO and the Visual Genome Dataset. The image-question pairs are split into 12 categories and 4 additional evaluation matrices which help evaluate models’ robustness against answer imbalance and its ability to answer questions that require higher reasoning capability. The TDIUC dataset divides the VQA paradigm into 12 different task directed question types. These include questions that require a simpler task (e.g., object presence, color attribute) and more complex tasks (e.g., counting, positional reasoning). The dataset includes also an “Absurd” question category in which questions are irrelevant to the image contents to help balance the dataset.

2 shown of 2 papers with a leaderboard row on this dataset's benchmarks, newest first. The archive's own "papers using this dataset" list was never published, so this is the benchmark-backed subset; the archive's count for this dataset is 39. The Syntology column is from Syntology's graph (read 2026-09-24), stated per sample; it is not part of any archive number.
