CheckDistill: Adaptive Checklist Distillation for Efficient Distributional Reward Modeling in Image Editing
Reinforcement learning for instruction-guided image editing requires reward models that provide reliable, accurate, and efficient feedback. Direct scalar prediction compresses multidimensional editing preferences, whereas generative evaluators can expose their judgment through explicit reasoning. However, broad scoring criteria do not specify all instance-dependent editing and preservation constraints, and generating long reasoning trajectories is costly for online optimization. We introduce CheckDistill, a pointwise reward modeling framework that internalizes instruction-adaptive checklists. We decompose each editing condition into atomic, independently verifiable requirements and constr...
