Evaluation Challenges of Diffusion Models

Evaluating diffusion models primarily relies on visual fidelity metrics, such as detail and cinematic quality, which do not accurately represent their effectiveness in modeling the physics of the world. This raises complex questions about how to comprehensively gauge their performance beyond surface-level aesthetics. There is a desire within the community to develop deeper evaluations that accurately measure the models' representations of physical interactions and behaviors over time. Current methods include user feedback and case studies, but ongoing research aims to establish more standardized metrics.
