MT-EditFlow: Reinforcement Learning for Multi-Turn Image Editing with Flow Matching

Recent breakthroughs in instruction-based image editing have captured significant attention, as models are now capable of handling real-world editing demands with the practicality required by everyday users. However, editing models trained primarily for single-turn edits often break down in multi-turn editing--the natural interactive setting where a user iteratively refines an image based on the model's own previous outputs.

RubricRM: Generative Reward Modeling via Dynamic Rubrics for Image Generation and Editing

RubricRM introduces a pairwise generative reward modeling framework that generates an input‑specific rubric—comprising evaluation dimensions, weights, and scoring criteria—to score candidate images. The method is trained in two stages: supervised fine‑tuning to learn the rubric‑based scoring paradigm and GRPO to refine dimension‑level rewards. Experiments on text‑to‑image generation and instruction‑based image editing benchmarks demonstrate that RubricRM outperforms existing specialized reward models and competes with strong proprietary MLLM judges while using smaller backbones.

DARS: Dual-Level Credit Assignment RL with Structured Reasoning for Instruction-Based Image Editing

arXiv:2608. 20161v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Instruction-based image editing uses a planner-renderer pipeline: a vision-language model (VLM) first converts the instruction into an edit plan, and a diffusion model then executes that plan.
