| Medium | GrooveSquid.com (original content) | Medium Difficulty Summary The rapid progress of visual generative models necessitates reliable evaluation methods. The Arena platform, which collects user votes on model comparisons, can rank models based on human preferences. However, traditional Arena methods require numerous comparisons for ranking to converge and are susceptible to preference noise in voting, highlighting the need for better approaches tailored to contemporary evaluation challenges. This paper introduces K-Sort Arena, an efficient and reliable platform that leverages images and videos’ higher perceptual intuitiveness to evaluate multiple samples simultaneously. K-Sort Arena employs K-wise comparisons, allowing K models to engage in free-for-all competitions, yielding richer information than pairwise comparisons. To enhance the system’s robustness, probabilistic modeling and Bayesian updating techniques are utilized. An exploration-exploitation-based matchmaking strategy is proposed to facilitate more informative comparisons. Experimental results demonstrate that K-Sort Arena exhibits 16.3x faster convergence compared to the widely used ELO algorithm. The platform is available at this URL. |
| Low | GrooveSquid.com (original content) | Low Difficulty Summary This paper is about how we can quickly and accurately evaluate new visual models that create images or videos. Right now, we have a system called Arena where people vote on which model is better. But this method has some problems, like needing too many comparisons to get a good ranking and being affected by mistakes in voting. The authors of this paper introduce a new way to do evaluations called K-Sort Arena. It’s faster and more accurate because it uses images and videos instead of text. This allows for more comparisons at once, which gives us better results. The system also includes some special techniques to make it more reliable. The authors tested their method and found that it works much better than the old way. Now, you can try out K-Sort Arena online! |
