Can We Predict The Human Preference For Text-to-Image Content Prior To Generation And Is It Even Useful To Do So?
arXiv:2606.05478v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Diffusion Models (DM) have revolutionized text-driven generation by enabling the synthesis of high-quality, photorealistic visual content from user prompts. Whereas prior advances in visual generation such as VAEs and GANs were primarily evaluated on perceptual or visual similarity metrics such as FID PSNR, DM advances have fostered the development of more advanced Human Preference Metrics (HPM) that model and quantify human judgment as scalar values. However, DMs synthesize content using an inherently stochastic process where random noise seed
The proliferation of diffusion models for text-to-image generation has highlighted the critical importance of effectively measuring and predicting human preference for AI-generated content to improve model utility and alignment.
Predicting human preference for AI-generated content can significantly optimize development cycles, reduce computational waste, and ensure AI systems produce outputs that are genuinely useful and desirable to users.
The focus is shifting from brute-force content generation and post-hoc evaluation to a more intelligent, predictive approach that anticipates human judgment before costly computations are performed.
