contents Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) offer remarkable benefits for a variety of vision-language tasks. However, a challenge hindering their application in real-world scenarios, particularly regarding safety, robustness, and reliability, is their constrained semantic grounding ability, which pertains to connecting language to the physical-world entities or concepts referenced in images. Therefore, a crucial need arises for a comprehensive study to assess the semantic grounding ability of widely used LVLMs. Despite the significance, sufficient investigation in this direction is currently lacking. Our work bridges this gap by designing a pipeline for generating large-scale evaluation datasets covering fine-grained semantic information, such as color, number, material, etc., along with a thorough assessment of seven popular LVLMs' semantic grounding ability. Results highlight prevalent misgrounding across various aspects and degrees. To address this issue, we propose a data-centric enhancement method that aims to improve LVLMs' semantic grounding ability through multimodal instruction tuning on fine-grained conversations. Experiments on enhanced LVLMs demonstrate notable improvements in addressing misgrounding issues.
