arXiv:2608. 09666v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent advances in visual generative models have enabled high-quality image and video generation, but evaluating these models often demands sampling hundreds or thousands of images or videos, which is computationally expensive.

NoteVQA is a new benchmark that collects 252 real‑life visual questions from the Chinese image‑sharing platform Xiaohongshu, covering 12 topics and 7 user intents. Each question is paired with a concise expert reference and a human‑audited interleaved answer that blends text and visual evidence. The study evaluates VLMs on short‑answer correctness and interleaved answer quality using a new AgenticInterleave framework and a 12‑dimensional IVR‑12 rubric, finding that even state‑of‑the‑art models achieve only about 53% accuracy and lag behind human references in content quality.

EgoErrorVQA introduces a new egocentric visual question answering task that evaluates visual agents’ ability to detect procedural errors in everyday activities. The paper presents an evaluator agent built on the Agent2Agent protocol and shows that current models struggle with procedural error recognition. It also proposes Ego-ADR, an Adaptive Decoupled Reasoning framework that improves performance on the task, achieving state‑of‑the‑art results.

The majority of our everyday activities are procedural and consist of sequences of interdependent steps. However, existing benchmarks for Visual Agents and Visual Language Models (VLMs) overlook the e...
PreResQ‑R1 introduces a Preference‑Response Disentangled Reinforcement Learning framework for Visual Quality Assessment that jointly optimizes absolute score regression and relative ranking consistency. It employs a dual‑branch reward system—modeling intra‑sample response coherence and inter‑sample preference alignment—trained with Group Relative Policy Optimization. The method extends to video quality assessment via a global‑temporal and local‑spatial data flow strategy, achieving state‑of‑the‑art results on 10 IQA and 5 VQA benchmarks with only 6K images and 28K videos, and provides human‑aligned reasoning traces.

Q‑SiT is a unified framework that trains large multimodal models to perform both image quality scoring and interpreting simultaneously. By converting standard IQA datasets into question‑answer pairs and adding human‑annotated interpreting data, the model learns to quantify overall quality and describe perceived attributes. An efficient balance strategy optimizes data mix ratios on lightweight models before scaling to full‑size LMMs, reducing computational cost while improving cross‑task knowledge transfer.
