AdaPilot introduces a scene-adaptive, cross-generator policy for optimizing text-to-image generation quality. By framing multi-turn image generation as a Markov Decision Process and using reinforcement learning, it decouples the policy from specific generator internals, incorporates scene-aware and process-level rewards, and achieves superior quality and generalization compared to baselines. Experiments demonstrate that a single AdaPilot policy can transfer zero‑shot to unseen generators while consistently improving performance across all evaluated models.

The paper introduces Objective-aware Trajectory Credit Assignment (OTCA), a framework that refines reinforcement learning for diffusion-based visual generation. OTCA decomposes credit across denoising steps and allocates multiple reward signals adaptively, addressing the coarse, uniform reward assignment of existing GRPO pipelines. Experiments demonstrate that OTCA consistently enhances image and video generation quality across various metrics.

The paper introduces Reflection-Aware GRPO (RA‑GRPO), a reinforcement‑learning framework that aligns diffusion generative models with human preferences. It uses Diffusion Reflection to correct intermediate sampling paths by reversing the diffusion process, and Counterfactual Path Synthesis to embed these corrected trajectories into the policy, avoiding extra inference cost. Experiments on text‑to‑image and text‑to‑video models show RA‑GRPO outperforms existing methods, reducing reward hacking and improving generalization while remaining architecture‑agnostic.
