MR‑IQA‑2 introduces an actor‑editor‑judge framework that separates reasoning from rating in image quality assessment. The actor generates quality reasoning, the editor modifies the image based on identified factors, and a frozen judge compares the original and edited images to provide reflective supervision. Fine‑grained credit assignment allows distinct supervision signals for reasoning and rating, achieving competitive human‑aligned ratings while offering richer, faithful visual understanding.

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.

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.
Recent advances in unified multimodal models have significantly improved text-guided image editing abilities. In particular, models such as Nano-Banana-Pro and GPT-Image-2 demonstrate emerging capabilities in multi-source image editing (MIE), including tasks such as object synthesis, person-background composition, and cross-image style fusion.
VGIQA is a new image quality assessment model that provides both local and global quality evaluations. It uses a two-stage training process—initial cold-start followed by reinforcement learning—with local quality reward functions. The model outperforms existing large multimodal language models on the newly introduced VGSR-2K dataset and improves performance on degradation perception tasks.
VGIQA is a new image quality assessment model that provides both local and global quality evaluations. It uses a two‑stage training process—starting with a cold‑start phase and then reinforcement learning guided by local quality reward functions. The model demonstrates superior performance on the newly introduced VGSR‑2K dataset, outperforming existing open‑source multi‑modal large language models such as Qwen2.5‑VL‑72B‑Instruct and Qwen3‑VL‑32B‑Instruct, and it also improves degradation perception tasks.
