Limitations in AI Model Evaluation: Bias, Efficiency, and Human Judgment

This study identifies 12 key aspects for evaluating text-to-image models but acknowledges several limitations. It highlights potential gaps in considering other dimensions, limitations in the current metrics for bias and efficiency, and challenges posed by subjective human evaluation, particularly in aesthetics and originality. Future research is encouraged to explore additional aspects and refine the metrics for a more comprehensive evaluation of image generation models.

10 Limitations

Our work identifies 12 important aspects in real-world deployments of text-to-image generation models, namely alignment, quality, aesthetics, originality, reasoning, knowledge, bias, toxicity, fairness, robustness, multilinguality, and efficiency. While we have made substantial progress in conducting a holistic evaluation of models across these aspects, there are certain limitations that should be acknowledged in our work.

\ Firstly, it is important to note that our identified 12 aspects may not be exhaustive, and there could be other potentially important aspects in text-to-image generation that have not been considered. It is an ongoing area of research, and future studies may uncover additional dimensions that are critical for evaluating image generation models. We welcome further exploration in this direction to ensure a comprehensive understanding of the field.

\ Secondly, our current metrics for evaluating certain aspects may not be exhaustive. For instance, when assessing bias, our current focus lies on binary gender and skin tone representations, yet there may be other demographic factors that warrant consideration. Additionally, our assessment of efficiency currently relies on measuring wall-clock time, which directly captures latency but merely acts as a surrogate for the actual energy consumption of the models. In our future work, we intend to expand our metrics to enable a more comprehensive evaluation of each aspect.

\ Lastly, there is an additional limitation related to the use of crowdsourced human evaluation. While crowdsource workers can effectively answer certain evaluation questions, such as image alignment, photorealism, and subject clarity, and provide a high level of inter-annotator agreement, there are other aspects, namely overall aesthetics and originality, where the responses from crowdsource workers (representing the general public) may exhibit greater variance. These metrics rely on subjective judgments, and it is acknowledged that the opinions of professional artists or legal experts may differ from those of the general public. Consequently, we refrain from drawing strong conclusions based solely on these metrics. However, we do believe there is value in considering the judgments of the general public, as it is reasonable to desire generated images to be visually pleasing and exhibit a sense of originality to a wide audience.
