OmniJudge or OmniBias? Diagnosing Multimodal Judges through Balanced, Decoupled Lenses

Le résumé fourni par la source

Multimodal understanding models that can jointly judge text-to-image (T2I), text-to-video (T2V) and text-to-speech (TTS) generation are increasingly used as "OmniJudges" for evaluation and automatic annotation. How reliably they understand what they score remains unclear, since existing benchmarks and training data tend to overemphasize positive examples and to conflate distinct failure modes, so a judge may score well without recognizing failures while its capability gaps stay hidden. Motivated by this, we introduce D3-Omni, a balanced and decoupled benchmark for diagnosing fine-grained multimodal understanding, covering 53 orthogonal binary dimensions (17/22/14) and 10,671 samples (3,526/1,998/5,147) across the three tasks. Rather than re-generating outputs, which may leak information across dimensions, we fix verified fully positive seeds and derive negatives through controlled prompt rewriting and atomic, dimension-isolating perturbations. The resulting D3 design is Dual-balanced, which helps alleviate negative-sample scarcity and per-dimension label imbalance; Decoupled, so that each error is attributable to a single capability; and Dynamic, steering construction toward under-represented regions of the label distribution as generative models improve.The suite reaches near 1:1 per-dimension parity and a uniform distribution over all total-score levels. Under this balanced view, even strong OmniJudges tend to struggle on modality-related dimensions, to confirm satisfied requirements far more reliably than they detect violated ones, and to treat nominally distinct attributes as largely a single decision, suggesting that aggregate accuracy may hide systematic blind spots that a balanced and decoupled lens can help expose and, in turn, address.
