Local Brushstroke Quality Assessment via Vision-Language Feedback 文章

arXiv:2607.16330v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This paper investigates whether multimodal LLMs can evaluate local brushstroke quality in calligraphy and generate educationally useful natural language feedback. We construct an evaluation framework in which three multimodal LLMs (GPT-4o, Claude Sonnet 4, and Gemini 2.5 Flash) assess before-after image pairs of calligraphic works using a five-point ordinal scale, and compare their outputs against scores assigned by three expert calligraphers. We additionally examine a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) variant of Claude as a preliminary condition. Results show that all models achieve useful levels of absolute score accuracy (MAE), with GPT-4o performing best (MAE = 0.885). However, none of the models produce statistically significant overall rank correlations with human experts (Kendall's tau).
