Leveraging Color Naming for Image Enhancement
arXiv:2607. 08185v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Enhancing images to make them visually appealing is a persistent challenge in computer vision.
Personalized image enhancement should reflect individual aesthetic taste, yet learning such preferences commonly depends on private photos and ratings that are unsuitable for centralized collection. The task must infer preference from sparse, heterogeneous feedback and translate it into natural-looking color transformations on resource-constrained user devices.

arXiv:2606. 08841v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Text-to-image diffusion models are increasingly deployed in open-ended creative contexts, yet their outputs remain impersonal, optimized for aggregate aesthetics rather than individual taste.
Traditional Image Aesthetic Assessment (IAA) methods mainly rely on regressing absolute Mean Opinion Scores (MOS). However, such a paradigm overlooks the inherently dynamic nature of human aesthetic perception, which relies on subconscious comparison against implicit visual references.

ReGain is a training‑free correction that improves subject fidelity in text‑to‑image diffusion models personalized with synthetic images. The authors show that fine‑tuning on synthetic images degrades fidelity due to inflated classifier‑free guidance, especially at high frequencies. ReGain measures this inflation per frequency band and scales it down during sampling, closing 51‑64% of the fidelity gap on Stable Diffusion v1.5 and improving performance on SDXL and SD 3.5 while preserving text alignment.
The paper "Efficient Personalization of Generative User Interfaces" addresses the challenge of tailoring generative user interfaces (GenUIs) to individual users when interface screens are not pre‑defined. By collecting judgments from 20 participants on 600 GenUI pairs, the authors show low agreement (Krippendorff's alpha = 0.25) and diverse rationales for UI preferences. They propose a sample‑efficient personalization method that leverages a few pairwise judgments to weight prior users’ preferences, outperforming a pretrained UI evaluator and a larger multimodal model offline and outperforming all baselines in an online study with 12 new users. "whyItMatters":"The study demonstrates a practical approach to personalizing on‑demand interfaces, showing that even sparse, subjective feedback can be effectively used to improve user satisfaction with generative UI designs."

Infrared-visible image fusion (IVIF) is pivotal for multimodal perception, yet reconciling the inherent information disparity between thermal and textural features remains a fundamental challenge. Existing prior-guided methods often rely on static constraints that induce optimization conflicts or utilize extrinsic semantic priors from large-scale foundation models (e.
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.
