contents The proliferation of MultiLingual Visual Question Answering (MLVQA) benchmarks augments the capabilities of large language models (LLMs) and multi-modal LLMs, thereby enabling them to adeptly capture the intricate linguistic subtleties and visual complexities inherent across diverse languages. Despite its potential, the current MLVQA model struggles to fully utilize its capabilities when dealing with the extensive variety of handwritten documents. This article delineates HW-MLVQA, an avant-garde VQA benchmark meticulously crafted to mitigate the dearth of authentic Multilingual Handwritten document comprehension. HW-MLVQA encompasses an extensive collection of 1,600 handwritten Pages complemented by 2,400 question-answers. Furthermore, it provides a robust benchmark evaluation framework spanning three distinct modalities: text, image, and an integrated image & text modality. To simulate authentic real-world contexts devoid of ground truth textual transcriptions, we facilitates a rigorous assessment of proprietary and open-source OCR models. The benchmark aspires to facilitate pivotal advancements in multilingual handwritten document interpretation, fostering innovation and scholarly inquiry within this specialized domain.
