arXiv:2509. 05208v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) excel at program synthesis, yet their ability to produce symbolic graphics programs (SGPs) that render into precise visual content remains underexplored.

Vision2Code is a new benchmark for image-to-code generation that covers 15 domains and 539 test examples without relying on reference source code. It evaluates generated programs by executing them and comparing rendered outputs to the original images using domain‑specific rubrics, yielding scores that correlate better with human judgments than generic metrics. The study shows domain variability in model performance and demonstrates that the scoring method can improve fine‑tuning of models like Qwen3.5‑9B and Phi‑4‑MM via rejection sampling.

Editable Visual Design introduces a new design paradigm that combines a Coding Agent with a Vision‑Language Model (VLM) and an image generation model. The VLM acts as the creative brain, understanding requirements, planning tasks, and judging aesthetics, while the image generator produces isolated visual assets on demand. The agent follows an "imagine first, then act" workflow, generating assets, writing native HTML/CSS, and refining the design through visual feedback, ultimately producing editable, layer‑wise artifacts with real text that can be adjusted via a graphical interface.

Vision-language models (VLMs) have shown strong capabilities in generating visualization code from textual or visual specifications. However, real-world visualization authoring is inherently iterative: users frequently revise existing visualizations to repair flawed charts or adapt them to desired styles.
arXiv:2606. 31711v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Faithfulness -- how precisely a generated image aligns with its prompt -- is increasingly central to the real-world utility of text-to-image (T2I) models.

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.

arXiv:2606. 10334v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Code-generating large language models (LLMs) increasingly produce visual artifacts such as charts, web pages, and slides by writing programs that are executed by non-differentiable renderers, committing to code before observing the render.

arXiv:2512. 05098v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: In recent years, Image Quality Assessment (IQA) for AI-generated images (AIGI) has advanced rapidly; however, existing methods primarily target portraits and artistic images, lacking a systematic evaluation of interior scenes.

The paper surveys Multimodal Code Intelligence, focusing on tasks where code is generated, edited, refined, or reasoned about under visually grounded inputs such as screenshots, charts, and videos. It categorizes the field by the role of code—rendered artifact, editable structure, intermediate reasoning trace, or executable tool interface—and organizes benchmarks into four domains: Graphical User Interface, Scientific Visualization, Structured Graphics, and Frontier Tasks and Frameworks. The authors argue that reliable evaluation must include evidence of semantics and interaction beyond visual fidelity, and propose four verification-centered research directions to advance the field toward evidence-grounded executable systems.

RAP (Reconstruct A Poster) is a new dataset and benchmark for generating conference posters from research papers, comprising over 25,000 verified paper‑poster pairs from 2022‑2026. Each pair is annotated with a three‑level content taxonomy and converted into styled HTML/CSS markup through an automated derendering pipeline, enabling objective render‑and‑compare evaluation. The corpus supports both inference and training, with a retrieval‑based PosterRAG pipeline and a supervised‑fine‑tuned model, and is publicly available via an online demo.
