Evaluating creativity is challenging, even for humans, not only because of its subjectivity but
also because it involves complex cognitive processes. Inspired by work in marketing, we
attempt to break down visual advertisement creativity into atypicality and originality. With fine-
grained human annotations on these dimensions, we propose a suite of tasks specifically for
such a subjective problem. We also evaluate the alignment between state-of-the-art (SoTA)
vision language models (VLMs) and humans on our proposed benchmark, demonstrating …

Abstract
Evaluating creativity is challenging, even for humans, not only because of its subjectivity but also because it involves complex cognitive processes. Inspired by work in marketing, we attempt to break down visual advertisement creativity into atypicality and originality. With fine-grained human annotations on these dimensions, we propose a suite of tasks specifically for such a subjective problem. We also evaluate the alignment between state-of-the-art (SoTA) vision language models (VLMs) and humans on our proposed benchmark, demonstrating both the promises and challenges of using VLMs for automatic creativity assessment.
