From Handcrafted to Generative: RLVR-Optimized Icon Generation for Alexa+

Read the original on arXiv AI →

Alexa+ devices use animated icons to reinforce spoken content, but the original hand‑drawn icons were too slow to scale. A new automated pipeline now generates vectorised animated icons from text, breaking the process into image generation, semantic decomposition, vectorisation, styling, and animation. The key improvement is a reinforcement‑learning‑based fine‑tuning of the image generation stage using objective verifiers, boosting the pass rate from 15.7% to 58.7% under an independent VLM judge.

Back2Struct: Making Structured Images Editable Again

Back2Struct is a system that converts structured images—such as diagrams, charts, and flowcharts—into editable vector graphics code (SVG/XML). By predicting semantically rich, object-level SVG code rather than low-level pixel vectorization, it allows the generated graphics to be imported into tools like PowerPoint for easy editing, restyling, and reuse. The model is trained with supervised fine‑tuning and reward‑based learning that enforces syntactic validity, concise length, and visual fidelity to the input, leading to higher accuracy, editability, and user alignment compared to baselines.

VGA-BenchV2: An Expanded Unified Benchmark and Multi-Model Framework for Evaluating Video Aesthetics and Generation Quality

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.
