BannerBench: Benchmarking Vision Language Models for Multi-Ad Selection with Human Preferences

Dataset Summary

The BannerBench is designed to evaluate the ability of VLMs to identify the banner that best matches human preferences from a set of candidates.

Dataset Structure

The structure of the raw dataset is as follows:

{
    "train": Dataset({
        "features": [
          'LPimage', 'image1', 'image2', 'image3', 'image4', 'image5', 
          'annotator1_ranking', 'annotator1_best', 'annotator1_worst', 
          'annotator2_ranking', 'annotator2_best', 'annotator2_worst', 
          'annotator3_ranking', 'annotator3_best', 'annotator3_worst', 
          'annotator4_ranking', 'annotator4_best', 'annotator4_worst', 
          'annotator5_ranking', 'annotator5_best', 'annotator5_worst', 
          'best_annotator', 'average_rank_correlation'
        ],
    })
}

Example

from datasets import load_dataset

dataset = load_dataset("cyberagent/BannerBench")

print(dataset)
# DatasetDict({
#     train: Dataset({
#         features: ['LPimage', 'image1', 'image2', 'image3', 'image4', 'image5', 'annotator1_ranking', 'annotator1_best', 'annotator1_worst', 'annotator2_ranking', 'annotator2_best', 'annotator2_worst', 'annotator3_ranking', 'annotator3_best', 'annotator3_worst', 'annotator4_ranking', 'annotator4_best', 'annotator4_worst', 'annotator5_ranking', 'annotator5_best', 'annotator5_worst', 'best_annotator', 'average_rank_correlation'],
#         num_rows: 900
#     })
# })

Data Fields

• LPimage: The Landing-Page image related image[1-5].
• image[1-5]: The Banners derived from a "LPimage".
• annotator[1-5]_ranking: Ranking of the advertisemental images in most prefered order by annotators 1 to 5.
• annotator[1-5]_best: The advertisement image is the most preferred one by annotators 1 to 5 in the Best-Choice task.
• annotator[1-5]_worst: The advertisement image is the least preferred one by annotators 1 to 5 in the Best-Choice task.
• best_annotator: The annotator whose average rank correlation with the other four annotators is the highest
• average_rank_correlation: The average of the top half of all possible annotator pairs, selected based on their rank correlation.

Dataset Creation

BannerBench construction process consists of the following 3 steps;

1. we collected sets of five banners derived from a single LP (Banner Sets; BSs),
2. we annotated human preference to the BSs,
3. we propose two subtasks: Ranking and Best-Choice.

Considerations for Using the Data

Since BannerBench is intended solely for evaluation purposes, it is not designed for training use; the benchmark focuses on assessing the inductive capabilities of VLMs.
