# GDB: GraphicDesignBench

40 benchmarks for evaluating vision-language models on graphic design tasks — layout, typography, SVG, template matching, animation. Built on 1,148 real design layouts from the [Lica dataset](https://lica.world).

**Paper:** [arXiv:2604.04192](https://arxiv.org/abs/2604.04192) &nbsp;|&nbsp; **Code:** [github.com/lica-world/GDB](https://github.com/lica-world/GDB) &nbsp;|&nbsp; **Blog:** [lica.world](https://lica.world/blog/gdb-real-world-benchmark-for-graphic-design)

## Usage

```python
from datasets import load_dataset

ds = load_dataset("lica-world/GDB", "svg-1")
```

## Schema

| Field | Type | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| `sample_id` | string | Sample identifier |
| `benchmark_id` | string | e.g. `svg-1`, `typography-3` |
| `domain` | string | layout, typography, svg, template, temporal, category, lottie |
| `task_type` | string | `understanding` or `generation` |
| `prompt` | string | Evaluation prompt |
| `ground_truth` | string | Expected answer (JSON for complex types) |
| `image` | Image | Input image (when applicable) |
| `input_image_asset` | Image | Auxiliary source image for generation/editing tasks |
| `mask_asset` | Image | Auxiliary edit mask for generation/editing tasks |
| `ground_truth_image_asset` | Image | Auxiliary target/reference image for generation metrics |
| `metadata` | string | Task-specific fields as JSON |

## Evaluation

```bash
pip install git+https://github.com/lica-world/GDB.git
```

```python
from gdb.registry import BenchmarkRegistry

registry = BenchmarkRegistry()
registry.discover()
bench = registry.get("svg-1")
scores = bench.evaluate(predictions, ground_truth)
```
