PhotoBench: Beyond Visual Matching Towards Personalized Intent-Driven Photo Retrieval

Personal photo albums are not merely collections of static images but living, ecological archives defined by temporal continuity, social entanglement, and rich metadata, which makes the personalized photo retrieval non-trivial. However, existing retrieval benchmarks rely heavily on context-isolated web snapshots, failing to capture the multi-source reasoning required to resolve authentic, intent-driven user queries. To bridge this gap, we introduce PhotoBench, the first benchmark constructed from authentic, personal albums. It is designed to shift the paradigm from visual matching to personalized multi-source intent-driven reasoning. Based on a rigorous multi-source profiling framework, w...
