AIGIQA-20K: A Large Database for AI-Generated Image Quality Assessment — Li et al. (2024) (arXiv:2404.03407, 2024)
What this evaluates
This benchmark evaluates the perceptual quality and text-to-image alignment of AI-generated images. It benchmarks objective quality assessment models against large-scale human subjective ratings to measure how well automated metrics correlate with human perception.
Datasets
- AIGIQA-20K — total 20000; splits: full (20000)
Metrics
SRoCC(primary) — range: [-1, 1]- Computes the Spearman rank-order correlation coefficient between the predicted quality scores of an objective model and the human-derived Mean Opinion Scores (MOS). Ranges from -1 to 1, where 1 indicates perfect monotonic agreement.
Input / output format
Input: AI-generated image paired with its corresponding text prompt.
Output: A continuous quality score (typically 0-5 or normalized) representing the predicted perceptual quality and text-to-image alignment.
Scoring recipe
def compute_srcc(pred_scores, human_mos):
pred_rank = [x[0] for x in sorted(enumerate(pred_scores), key=lambda x: x[1])]
gold_rank = [x[0] for x in sorted(enumerate(human_mos), key=lambda x: x[1])]
n = len(pred_scores)
d_sq = sum((p - g) ** 2 for p, g in zip(pred_rank, gold_rank))
return 1 - (6 * d_sq) / (n * (n ** 2 - 1))
Common pitfalls
- Human MOS computation involves a specific logarithmic normalization and Z-score conversion per the paper's formula, which differs from standard linear averaging.
- Outlier human raters are removed based on an SRoCC < 0.6 threshold against the global average before computing final MOS, which can significantly alter the ground truth if not replicated exactly.
Evidence (verbatim from paper)
we compute the Spearman Rank-order Correlation Coefficient (SRoCC) between them and the global average and remove the outliers with SRoCC lower than 0.6.
