Online Agent-as-a-Judge: Situation-Generating Evaluation for Interactive Agents

Evaluating LLM-powered interactive social agents is challenging because socially relevant behaviors depend not only on isolated outputs, but also on prior interactions, social roles, and downstream actions. Existing methods typically allow a target agent to act freely in an environment and then score the resulting trajectory. However, this passive setup can miss capabilities that only become observable under specific social circumstances; for example, conflict handling may remain untested if no disagreement arises. We propose Online Agent-as-a-Judge, a situation-generating evaluation framework for interactive social agents. Online Agent-as-a-Judge deploys an in-world evaluator agent that interacts with the target agent through the environment's native dialogue and action protocol, actively eliciting situations relevant to the evaluation criteria. The resulting trajectories provide evidence for assessing both immediate responses and subsequent behavior. In a life-simulation environment with $32$ designer-authored social criteria, Online Agent-as-a-Judge improves criteria coverage and agreement with human labels, yielding more reliable evidence-grounded evaluations of behaviors that passive methods can leave unobserved.

DGQ: Distribution-Aware Group Quantization for Text-to-Image Diffusion Models

Despite the widespread use of text-to-image diffusion models across various tasks, their computational and memory demands limit practical applications. To mitigate this issue, quantization of diffusion models has been explored. It reduces memory usage and computational costs by compressing weights and activations into lower-bit formats. However, existing methods often struggle to preserve both image quality and text-image alignment, particularly in lower-bit($<$ 8bits) quantization. In this paper, we analyze the challenges associated with quantizing text-to-image diffusion models from a distributional perspective. Our analysis reveals that activation outliers play a crucial role in determining image quality. Additionally, we identify distinctive patterns in cross-attention scores, which significantly affects text-image alignment. To address these challenges, we propose Distribution-aware Group Quantization (DGQ), a method that identifies and adaptively handles pixel-wise and channel-wise outliers to preserve image quality. Furthermore, DGQ applies prompt-specific logarithmic quantization scales to maintain text-image alignment. Our method demonstrates remarkable performance on datasets such as MS-COCO and PartiPrompts. We are the first to successfully achieve low-bit quantization of text-to-image diffusion models without requiring additional fine-tuning of weight quantization parameters.

Memory-Efficient Fine-Tuning for Quantized Diffusion Model

The emergence of billion-parameter diffusion models such as Stable Diffusion XL, Imagen, and DALL-E 3 has significantly propelled the domain of generative AI. However, their large-scale architecture presents challenges in fine-tuning and deployment due to high resource demands and slow inference speed. This paper explores the relatively unexplored yet promising realm of fine-tuning quantized diffusion models. Our analysis revealed that the baseline neglects the distinct patterns in model weights and the different roles throughout time steps when finetuning the diffusion model. To address these limitations, we introduce a novel memory-efficient fine-tuning method specifically designed for quantized diffusion models, dubbed TuneQDM. Our approach introduces quantization scales as separable functions to consider inter-channel weight patterns. Then, it optimizes these scales in a timestep-specific manner for effective reflection of the role of each time step. TuneQDM achieves performance on par with its full-precision counterpart while simultaneously offering significant memory efficiency. Experimental results demonstrate that our method consistently outperforms the baseline in both single-/multi-subject generations, exhibiting high subject fidelity and prompt fidelity comparable to the full precision model.
