• Abstract: This paper introduces a new data-driven, non-parametric method for image quality and aesthetics assessment, surpassing existing approaches and requiring no prompt engineering or fine-tuning. We eliminate the need for expressive textual embeddings by proposing efficient image anchors in the data. Through extensive evaluations of 7 state-of-the-art self-supervised models, our method demonstrates superior performance and robustness across various datasets and benchmarks. Notably, it achieves high agreement with human assessments even with limited data and shows high robustness to the nature of data and their pre-processing pipeline. Our contributions offer a streamlined solution for assessment of images while providing insights into the perception of visual information.

  We conduct a systematic study on the fidelity of entities in text-to-image generation models. We focus on their ability to generate a wide range of real-world visual entities, such as landmark buildings, aircraft, plants, and animals. Our findings reveal that even the most advanced text-to-image models often fail to generate entities with accurate visual details.

  We introduce Self-Training on Image (STIC), which emphasizes a self-training approach specifically for image comprehension. First, the model self-constructs a preference for image descriptions using unlabeled images. To further self-improve reasoning on the extracted visual information, we let the model reuse a small portion of existing instruction-tuning data.

  Image Quality Assessment (IQA) models benefit significantly from semantic information, which allows them to treat different types of objects distinctly. Traditional methods, hindered by a lack of sufficiently annotated data, have employed the CLIP image-text pretraining model as their backbone to gain semantic awareness. Recent approaches have attempted to address this mismatch using prompt technology, but these solutions have shortcomings. This paper introduces an innovative multi-modal prompt-based methodology for IQA.

  We provide an overview of existing text-to-image quality metrics addressing their nuances and the need for alignment with human preferences. We propose a new taxonomy for categorizing these metrics, which is grounded in the assumption that there are two main quality criteria, namely compositionality and generality. We derive guidelines for practitioners conducting text-to-image evaluation, discuss open challenges of evaluation mechanisms, and surface limitations of current metrics.

  This paper proposes a new image synthesis pipeline for long-tailed situations using Textual Inversion. We show that generated images from textual-inverted text tokens effectively aligns with the real domain. We also show that real-world data imbalance scenarios can be successfully mitigated by filling up the imbalanced data with synthetic images.

All images are annotated with ground truth values and a test set is annotated with human uncertainty judgments. We use this dataset to characterize human uncertainty in vision tasks and evaluate existing visual event classification models.
