# JA-VG-VQA-500


## Dataset Description 

**JA-VG-VQA-500** is a 500-sample subset of [Japanese Visual Genome VQA dataset](https://github.com/yahoojapan/ja-vg-vqa).
This dataset was used in the evaluation of [EvoVLM-JP-v1-7B](https://huggingface.co/SakanaAI/EvoVLM-JP-v1-7B). 
Please refer to our [report](https://arxiv.org/abs/2403.13187) and [blog](https://sakana.ai/evolutionary-model-merge/) for more details. 
We are grateful to the developers for making the dataset available under [Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 License](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode).
