TLDR
SCOPE is a framework that uses structured decomposition and conditional skill orchestration to maintain semantic commitments for complex text-to-image generation.
Key contributions
- Addresses the "Conceptual Rift" in complex image generation by tracking semantic commitments.
- Introduces SCOPE, a framework using structured specifications and conditional skill orchestration.
- Proposes Gen-Arena, a human-annotated benchmark, and EGIP, a strict entity-first pass criterion.
- SCOPE substantially outperforms baselines on Gen-Arena and achieves strong results on WISE-V and MindBench.
Why it matters
Text-to-image models often fail to realize complex visual intents. SCOPE introduces a novel method to maintain semantic commitments throughout the generation process, significantly improving the fidelity and reliability of generated images for intricate scenes. This advancement is crucial for more controllable and accurate AI image synthesis.
Original Abstract
While text-to-image models have made strong progress in visual fidelity, faithfully realizing complex visual intents remains challenging because many requirements must be tracked across grounding, generation, and verification. We refer to these requirements as semantic commitments and formalize their lifecycle discontinuity as the Conceptual Rift, where commitments may be locally resolved or checked but fail to remain identifiable as the same operational units throughout the generation lifecycle. To address this, we propose SCOPE, a specification-guided skill orchestration framework that maintains semantic commitments in an evolving structured specification and conditionally invokes retrieval, reasoning, and repair skills around unresolved or violated commitments. To evaluate commitment-level intent realization, we introduce Gen-Arena, a human-annotated benchmark with entity- and constraint-level specifications, together with Entity-Gated Intent Pass Rate (EGIP), a strict entity-first pass criterion. SCOPE substantially outperforms all evaluated baselines on Gen-Arena, achieving 0.60 EGIP, and further achieves strong results on WISE-V (0.907) and MindBench (0.61), demonstrating the effectiveness of persistent commitment tracking for complex image generation.
