Frozen Scenes, Shifting Winners: Configuration Fragility in Text-to-3D Evaluation

Read the original on arXiv AI →

The paper investigates how changes in evaluation settings—such as camera angles and caption wording—affect the rankings of text-to-3D generators. Using 300 fixed scenes and varying eight render and caption factors, the authors find that configuration variance often exceeds generator variance, leading to frequent shifts in the top-scoring model across 19 alignment evaluators. They conclude that observed winner changes are descriptive rather than definitive, and recommend detailed reporting of generator, score, and protocol specifics to account for uncertainty.

DEPICT: Scoring Text-to-Image Alignment by Answer Agreement

DEPICT is a new training‑free metric for evaluating text‑to‑image alignment. It replaces fixed reference answers with an agreement rule that compares image‑based and caption‑only responses, weighting questions by how decisively the caption determines them. By merging this agreement score with a holistic score, DEPICT improves negation accuracy dramatically and outperforms existing training‑free metrics while matching or exceeding fine‑tuned evaluators on several benchmarks.

AMIGO: Agentic Multi-Image Grounding Oracle Benchmark

AMIGO (Agentic Multi-Image Grounding Oracle Benchmark) is a long-horizon evaluation framework for vision‑language models that tests hidden‑target identification across galleries of visually similar images. The benchmark requires a model to ask a sequence of attribute‑focused Yes/No questions, receiving Yes/No/Unsure feedback and penalizing invalid actions with Skip, thereby stressing question selection under uncertainty, constraint tracking, and fine‑grained discrimination. Using the Guess My Preferred Dress task, the study shows that final‑answer accuracy alone overstates performance, as models may guess correctly without verified evidence, waste turns, or violate the protocol, highlighting the need for combined visual discrimination, informative questioning, and robust protocol adherence.
