Read It Back: Pretrained MLLMs Are Zero-Shot Reward Models for Text-to-Image Generation

In this paper, we propose SpectraReward, a training-free reward function that turns pretrained MLLMs into off-the-shelf reward models for image-generation reinforcement learning. Instead of asking the MLLM to judge a generated image or answer decomposed verification questions, SpectraReward measures...
