  "summary": "Text-to-image (T2I) models have achieved remarkable success at faithfully rendering specified objects and attributes, yet their ability to produce visual metaphors, images that convey abstract ideas by combining elements from two distinct domains, remains largely unexamined. To bridge this gap, we introduce VMetaphor-Bench, the first benchmark for evaluating visual metaphor generation in T2I…",
