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.

arXiv:2607. 15740v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: As Text-to-Image (T2I) systems rapidly advance, evaluating the cultural authenticity of synthesized content has become increasingly important for fair and trustworthy generative AI.

VGA‑BenchV2 is an expanded, human‑aligned benchmark and optimization framework that jointly evaluates video generation quality and aesthetic value. It builds on the original VGA‑Bench taxonomy, adding 52 sub‑dimensions and 1,016 curated prompts to generate over 60,000 videos from 12 mainstream models. The benchmark significantly enlarges human supervision with 36,000 task‑level annotations and introduces a hybrid evaluator (VAQA‑Net, VTag‑Net, VGQA‑Net) that aligns well with human judgments and can be used as a reward model for reinforcement‑learning fine‑tuning.

AI video generation has advanced rapidly and entered widespread commercial use. As a result, quality differences among videos produced by state-of-the-art AI video generation models~(AIVGMs) have become increasingly difficult to discern using conventional evaluation criteria, such as visual fidelity and semantic instruction following.
