| Challenge: | Existing evaluation datasets feature Western-centric images and English text, while their non-English counterparts are often derived from the latter. |
| Approach: | They propose to evaluate Vision-Language Models (VLMs) on visual understanding across four Arabic-speaking countries: Jordan, The Emirates, Egypt, and Morocco. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model underperforms in visual understanding and dialect-specific generation across four Arabic-speaking countries. |
