Abstract
Editing complex visual content based on ambiguous instructions remains a
challenging problem in vision-language modeling. While existing models can
contextualize content, they often struggle to grasp the underlying intent
within a reference image or scene, leading to misaligned edits. We introduce
the Editing Vision-Language Model (EVLM), a system designed to interpret such
instructions in conjunction with reference visuals, producing precise and
context-aware editing prompts. Leveraging Chain-of-Thought (CoT) reasoning and
KL-Divergence Target Optimization (KTO) alignment technique, EVLM captures
subjective editing preferences without requiring binary labels. Fine-tuned on a
dataset of 30,000 CoT examples, with rationale paths rated by human evaluators,
EVLM demonstrates substantial improvements in alignment with human intentions.
Experiments across image, video, 3D, and 4D editing tasks show that EVLM
generates coherent, high-quality instructions, supporting a scalable framework
for complex vision-language applications.
