• Abstract: Text-to-image models are known to struggle with generating images that perfectly align with textual prompts. Several previous studies have focused on evaluating image-text alignment in text-to-image generation. However, these evaluations either address overly simple scenarios, especially overlooking the difficulty of prompts with multiple different instances belonging to the same category, or they introduce metrics that do not correlate well with human evaluation. In this study, we introduce M$^3$T2IBench, a large-scale, multi-category, multi-instance, multi-relation along with an object-detection-based evaluation metric, $AlignScore$, which aligns closely with human evaluation. Our findings reveal that current open-source text-to-image models perform poorly on this challenging benchmark. Additionally, we propose the Revise-Then-Enforce approach to enhance image-text alignment. This training-free post-editing method demonstrates improvements in image-text alignment across a broad range of diffusion models. \footnote{Our code and data has been released in supplementary material and will be made publicly available after the paper is accepted.}

  We propose a novel framework called Image2Text2Image to evaluate image captioning models. A high similarity score suggests that the model has produced a faithful textual description, while a low score highlights discrepancies. Our framework does not rely on human-annotated captions reference, making it a valuable tool for assessing image captioning models.

The inputs of the task are multimodal including (1) a reference image and (2) an instruction in natural language that describes desired modifications to the image. We show that the proposed model performs favorably against recent strong baselines on three public datasets.
