Xiaohongshu's DeCoRL decomposes consistency rewards to fix multi-image composition

Xiaohongshu's AIGC team released DeCoRL, a reinforcement learning framework tackling identity confusion, attribute drift, and missing objects in multi-image composition (2+ reference images).

Instead of scoring whole images, DeCoRL decomposes consistency into per-object judgments: it matches objects across reference and generated images, uses a specially trained single-object consistency reward model to check identity and appearance for each, then aggregates these into a multi-object reward — with penalties for missing objects — to drive RL post-training, alongside a holistic quality score.

Results: on their new DeCo-Bench (200 real-photo cases, 2–6 reference images), the overall score rose from 7.05 to 8.16, and from 6.15 to 7.61 in the hardest 6-image setting. On public MICo-Bench, the score jumped from 37.58 to 54.03 — the highest among models listed in the paper, with notable gains in person composition and decomposition-recombination tasks. Use cases include group photos from multiple sources, product-scene combinations, and outfit recomposition.
