VisGraphVar: A benchmark generator for Assessing Variability in Graph Analysis Using Large Vision-Language Models by Camilo Chacon Sartori, Christian Blum, Filippo Bistaffa

“…We use VisGraphVar to produce 990 graph images and evaluate six LVLMs, employing two distinct prompting strategies, namely zero-shot and chain-of-thought. The findings demonstrate that variations in visual attributes of images (e.g., node labeling and layout) and the deliberate inclusion of visual imperfections, such as overlapping nodes, significantly affect model performance. …”
