Measuring how real images look is a complex task in artificial intelligence research. For example, an image of Albert Einstein holding a smartphone violates common-sense because modern smartphone were invented after Einstein’s death. We introduce a novel method, which we called Through the Looking Glass (TLG), to assess image common sense consistency using Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) and Transformer-based encoder. By leveraging LVLM to extract atomic facts from these images, we obtain a mix of accurate facts. We proceed by fine-tuning a compact attention-pooling classifier over encoded atomic facts. Our TLG has achieved a new state-of-the-art performance on the WHOOPS! and WEIRD datasets while leveraging a compact fine-tuning component.
