Beyond Absolute Scores: Relative Edit-induced Difference for Generalizable Image Aesthetic Assessment

arXiv:2606.05778v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Traditional Image Aesthetic Assessment (IAA) methods mainly rely on regressing absolute Mean Opinion Scores (MOS). However, such a paradigm overlooks the inherently dynamic nature of human aesthetic perception, which relies on subconscious comparison against implicit visual references. Consequently, the lack of causal reasoning regarding aesthetic differences prevents models from learning generalizable aesthetic principles, thus limiting their generalization across diverse scenarios. In this work, we rethink the IAA task and propose Relative Edi…
