PreResQ‑R1 introduces a Preference‑Response Disentangled Reinforcement Learning framework for Visual Quality Assessment that jointly optimizes absolute score regression and relative ranking consistency. It employs a dual‑branch reward system—modeling intra‑sample response coherence and inter‑sample preference alignment—trained with Group Relative Policy Optimization. The method extends to video quality assessment via a global‑temporal and local‑spatial data flow strategy, achieving state‑of‑the‑art results on 10 IQA and 5 VQA benchmarks with only 6K images and 28K videos, and provides human‑aligned reasoning traces.

Vision-Language Models (VLMs) are promising for construction-site monitoring, and recent construction-tailored VLMs have primarily adapted pretrained VLMs through direct QA-style fine-tuning from a single global image. We argue that this direct paradigm remains limited for in-the-wild deployment in terms of operational range, reliability under reduced-resolution inputs, and inference efficiency.

The paper introduces VWG-Bench, a benchmark covering nine reasoning dimensions and 38 tasks to evaluate video generative models on symbolic reasoning, physical laws, and goal pursuit. It also presents Vid-PRE, a prompt-rewriting framework that offloads reasoning to a VLM, improving logical performance without changing the generator architecture. Experiments show that current models excel at visual quality but struggle with logic-heavy tasks, while Vid-PRE significantly boosts reasoning across multiple generators.
