Beyond the Literal: Decomposing Pragmatic Intent in Multimodal Meme Understanding

Zhengyi Zhao, Shubo Zhang, Zezhong Wang +6

When asked what a meme or sarcastic post means, Large Vision Language Models (LVLMs) tend to describe what the image shows rather than what the author is trying to communicate. Sta…
