AutoRubric-T2I: Robust Rule-Based Reward Model for Text-to-Image Alignment
The paper introduces AutoRubric-T2I, a novel framework for improving text-to-image (T2I) alignment through automatic rubric generation. This approach synthesizes reasoning traces from preference pairs to create explicit scoring rubrics, enhancing the evaluation of generated images. The results indicate that AutoRubric-T2I significantly reduces the need for extensive training data while outperforming existing reward models in quality and interpretability.
- ▪AutoRubric-T2I synthesizes and selects explicit rubrics for guiding Vision-Language Model judges.
- ▪The framework uses less than 0.01% of annotated preference data to produce high-quality reward signals.
- ▪Extensive evaluations show that AutoRubric-T2I outperforms strong reward model baselines on image reward benchmarks.
