CVPR 2025: DeQA-Score Lets LLMs Predict Image Quality Score Distributions
DeQA-Score introduces a soft‑label discretization that lets multimodal large language models regress continuous image‑quality scores as Gaussian distributions, achieving 30× lower mean error and preserving variance and inter‑image relationships, with KL‑divergence and fidelity losses driving state‑of‑the‑art performance.
