RULER: Instance-aware Rubric Rewards for SVG Generation

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 21, 2026 · UTC

Generating Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) code from natural-language instructions is an open-ended task without absolute visual ground truth, leaving both evaluation and policy optimization without a faithful signal. Scalar metrics (CLIP, Aesthetic) calibrated on natural images transfer poorly to stylized vector content, and reusing them as RL rewards triggers reward hacking. We address both limitations with rubric-based scoring. We first establish empirically that prompting a vision-language judge with a multi-axis rubric correlates with human judgments far better than scalar metrics, both ac
