New APEX metric offers assumption-free AI image quality assessment

Researchers have developed APEX, a new metric for evaluating image quality generated by AI models. APEX utilizes the Sliced Wasserstein Distance, a mathematically sound approach that avoids assumptions about feature distributions. It is designed to be flexible, working with various feature extractors like CLIP and DINOv2, and demonstrates greater robustness to visual degradations compared to existing methods. AI

    APEX: Assumption-free Projection-based Embedding eXamination Metric for Image Quality Assessment

    As generative models achieve unprecedented visual quality, the gold standard for image evaluation remains traditional feature-distribution metrics (e.g., FID). However, these metrics are provably hindered by the closed-vocabulary bottleneck of outdated features and the assumptive…
