OTCA improves GRPO training for visual generation by estimating step importance in trajectories and adaptively weighting multiple reward objectives.
UnifiedReward is the first unified reward model that jointly assesses multimodal understanding and generation to provide better preference signals for aligning vision models via DPO.
EffectivePresentationScorer evaluates paper-to-video talks for instructional quality by checking clear explanation of ideas, prerequisite concepts, and links to contributions, finding that current systems cover topics but fail to teach.
PhyMotion scores generated human videos by grounding recovered 3D poses in a physics simulator across kinematic, contact, and dynamic axes, yielding stronger human correlation and larger RL post-training gains than prior 2D rewards.
HuM-Eval evaluates human motion videos with a coarse-to-fine approach using VLM global checks plus 2D pose and 3D motion analysis, reaching 58.2% average correlation with human judgments and introducing a 1000-prompt benchmark.
Current video models succeed on basic understanding but achieve under 25% success on logically grounded generation and near 0% on interactive generation, exposing gaps in multimodal reasoning.
ViPO enhances GRPO for visual generation by creating spatially and temporally aware advantage maps from pretrained vision models to focus optimization on perceptually important regions.
RAPO++ is a three-stage prompt optimization framework combining retrieval-augmented refinement, closed-loop test-time scaling, and LLM fine-tuning to enhance text-to-video generation quality.
DanceGRPO applies GRPO to visual generation tasks to achieve stable policy optimization across diffusion models, rectified flows, multiple tasks, and diverse reward models, outperforming prior RL methods.
A human preference dataset and VideoReward model enable Flow-DPO and Flow-NRG to produce smoother, better-aligned videos from text prompts in flow-based generators.
DOLLAR combines variational score and consistency distillation for few-step video generation plus latent reward optimization, reporting 82.57 VBench score and up to 278x speedup over the teacher diffusion model for 128-frame 10-second videos.
PhyGenBench supplies 160 prompts across 27 physical laws and an automated LLM/VLM evaluation pipeline to measure physical commonsense compliance in current text-to-video models.
MASS adds spatiotemporal motion signals and 3D grounding to VLMs and releases MASS-Bench, yielding physics-reasoning performance within 2% of Gemini-2.5-Flash after reinforcement fine-tuning.
