The Abstraction Gap in Vision-Language Causal Reasoning
Researchers introduce a dual-probe methodology and the CAGE benchmark (49,500 questions across 5,500 images) to distinguish linguistic plausibility from faithful causal reasoning in vision-language models. An Abstraction Gap (AG) metric quantifies the normalized performance difference between text-only and chain-of-reasoning probes. Evaluating eight VLMs, seven exhibit AG exceeding 0.50—generating fluent causal text but failing structured causal chain tasks—while one model achieves near-zero AG, suggesting architectural and pretraining choices are decisive. Fine-tuning on 45,000 chain-annotated examples fails to close the gap, pointing to a fundamental capability distinction.
