MMCOMET: A Large-Scale Multimodal Commonsense Knowledge Graph for Contextual Reasoning

Artificial Intelligence 2026-03-03 v1

Abstract

We present MMCOMET, the first multimodal commonsense knowledge graph (MMKG) that integrates physical, social, and eventive knowledge. MMCOMET extends the ATOMIC2020 knowledge graph to include a visual dimension, through an efficient image retrieval process, resulting in over 900K multimodal triples. This new resource addresses a major limitation of existing MMKGs in supporting complex reasoning tasks like image captioning and storytelling. Through a standard visual storytelling experiment, we show that our holistic approach enables the generation of richer, coherent, and contextually grounded stories than those produced using text-only knowledge. This resource establishes a new foundation for multimodal commonsense reasoning and narrative generation.
