 Hello, we are a team of researchers based in KAIST AI working on accessible visualization.
 In specific, we compiled a diagram description dataset for the blind and low-vision individuals.
 We worked in close cooperation with two schools for the blind, as well as over 30 sighted annotators, and we are grateful for their contribution.

+## Abstract
+> Often, the needs and visual abilities differ between the annotator group and the end user
+group. Generating detailed diagram descriptions for blind and low-vision (BLV) users is one such challenging domain.
+Sighted annotators could describe visuals with ease, but existing studies have shown that direct generations by them are costly, bias-prone, and somewhat
+lacking by BLV standards. In this study, we ask sighted individuals to assess—rather than produce—diagram descriptions generated by vision-language models (VLM) that have been
+guided with latent supervision via a multi-pass inference. The sighted assessments prove effective and useful to professional educators
+who are themselves BLV and teach visually impaired learners. We release SIGHTATION, a collection of diagram description datasets
+spanning 5k diagrams and 137k samples for completion, preference, retrieval, question answering, and reasoning training purposes and
+demonstrate their fine-tuning potential in various downstream tasks.

+The key benefit of utilizing sighted user feedback lies in their assessments that are based on solid visual
+grounding. The compiled assessments prove an effective training substance for steering VLMs towards more
+accessible descriptions.

+Tuning VLMs on Sightation enhanced various qualities of the diagram descriptions, evaluated by BLV educators, and shown here as normalized ratings averaged in each aspect.
+The capability of the dataset is most strongly pronounced with Qwen2-VL-2B model, shown above.
