TextVBench: Evaluating Text Rendering and Preservation in Video Generation

TextVBench is a new benchmark and evaluation framework for assessing how well video generation models render and preserve text. It introduces two tracks—TextVBench‑T2V for prompt‑specified text creation and maintenance, and TextVBench‑Ref2V for preserving text from reference images—using a multi‑target, multi‑instance spatiotemporal correspondence approach. The framework employs target‑conditioned candidate selection, supports multiple OCR regions per target, and separates spatial and temporal fidelity, summarizing results with a length‑weighted harmonic score and detailed diagnostics.

VTR-Bench: A Systematic Benchmark for Evaluating Visual Text Rendering in Video Generation

VTR-Bench is a new benchmark designed to evaluate how well video generation models render text within scenes. It includes 300 prompts across five real-world scenarios such as advertisements and scientific videos, and uses an automated pipeline with human alignment to assess text fidelity and scene/motion requirements. Experiments on 11 state‑of‑the‑art models show that even the best performer has a word error rate of 0.250, underscoring widespread challenges in visual text rendering.

From Pixels to Pairs: A Comprehensive Benchmark of LLM-Driven Key-Value Extraction in Noisy Document Settings

The paper introduces a controlled benchmark for evaluating large language models (LLMs) on key‑value pair extraction from documents with varying levels of OCR noise. It tests 136 configurations across five instruction‑tuned open‑weight LLMs, three datasets, and four text‑quality conditions, using deterministic decoding to generate 17,688 document‑level inferences. The study finds that clean‑text performance does not reliably predict real‑world robustness, model rankings can reverse under noisy conditions, and few‑shot demonstrations do not always improve accuracy, highlighting reliability risks in OCR‑to‑LLM pipelines.

T2LSC-Bench: Benchmarking Localized Semantic Control in Text-to-Image Generation

T2LSC-Bench is a new benchmark for evaluating localized semantic control in text-to-image generation, consisting of 50 seed subjects and 1,200 prompt cases per model, producing 7,160 images across six models. The benchmark measures Text-at-Anchor Accuracy, Semantic Subject Preservation, Semantic Leakage Rate, and Conditional Semantic Leakage Rate using a dual‑branch protocol that combines OCR‑VLM verification with structured VLM semantic judgments. Results show that while accurate text rendering remains high, semantic leakage can increase dramatically under stress‑test conditions, and anti‑leakage prompting can reduce leakage without harming rendering accuracy.

LensVLM: Selective Context Expansion for Compressed Visual Representation of Text

LensVLM is an inference framework and post‑training recipe that lets Vision‑Language Models (VLMs) process compressed images of text by selectively expanding only the relevant parts back to full resolution. Using Qwen3.5‑9B‑Base, LensVLM achieves accuracy comparable to full‑text models at 4.3× compression and outperforms other compression baselines up to 10.1× across seven text QA benchmarks, while also improving performance on multimodal document and code tasks as compression increases.

WanPE: Towards Cinematic Prompt Enhancement for Modern Text-to-Video Generation

WanPE is a 397‑B parameter prompt‑enhancement model that learns director‑level cinematic planning from 1.05 M real‑world videos. It generates shot‑level cinematic plans through video‑grounded reverse construction and uses Semantic‑Consistency GRPO (SC‑GRPO) to maintain user intent across shots and time. In evaluations, WanPE improves human preference over raw prompts by up to 50.86 points for 30‑second videos and outperforms commercial offerings for shorter durations.

VTBench: Evaluating Visual Tokenizers for Autoregressive Image Generation

VTBench is a new benchmark that evaluates visual tokenizers (VTs) used in autoregressive image generation. It assesses VTs on image reconstruction, detail preservation, and text preservation across diverse scenarios, revealing that continuous VAEs outperform discrete VTs in maintaining spatial structure and semantic detail. The study also explores GPT‑4o’s potential autoregressive behavior and releases the benchmark publicly to encourage development of robust, open‑source VTs.
