Before revision:  Unfortunately, existing human evaluation methods are ad-hoc : there is currently no standardized, validated evaluation that: (1) measures perceptual fidelity, (2) is reliable, (3) separates models into clear rank order, and (4) ensures high-quality measurement without intractable cost. In response, we construct Human-eYe Perceptual Evaluation (HYPE) , a human metric that is (1) grounded in psychophysics research in perception, (2) reliable across different sets of randomly sampled outputs from a model, (3) results in separable model performances, and (4) efficient in cost and time.
After revision:  Unfortunately, existing human evaluation methods are ad-hoc , neither standardized nor validated. Our work establishes a gold standard human benchmark for generative realism.
