VlogReward: Learning Multi-Dimensional Evaluation for Vlog Editing

摘要

The rapid rise of vlogs as a personalized storytelling medium has created a demand for automated systems to evaluate and refine vlog editing plans. However, vlog assessment is highly subjective and remains challenging due to a lack of standardized criteria, dataset and benchmark, and effective reward models. To address these challenges, we define a comprehensive vlog evaluation framework guided by professional vlog creators and product managers, establishing a taxonomy of six key dimensions, *i.e.*, *Creativity*, *Consistency*, *Concept Design*, *Cinematography*, *Narration*, and *Pacing*. Subsequently, we curate a large-scale dataset of 100k vlog edits and a dedicated benchmark, **VRMBench**, to evaluate the vlog rewarding capabilities of Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs). Finally, we present **VlogReward**, a robust vlog reward model that can provide both fine-grained multi-dimensional scores and actionable feedback for iterative refinement. Technically, we enhance the Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO) framework by introducing an adjustable inter-group comparison reward, which mitigates the "direction blindness" issue of standard GRPO and enables the model to better distinguish varied-quality edits. VlogReward achieves state-of-the-art results that significantly outperform existing MLLMs, including GPT-5 and Gemini-3-Pro. We hope that our study can help vlog creators and foster automated vlog evaluation and refinement systems.
