Abstract

Complex text-to-image requests remain difficult to satisfy reliably. Verifying and repairing an image can fix an individual output, but a successful repair does not necessarily carry over to other requests. We present ImageRSI, a framework that keeps the image generator frozen and combines three components: five-dimensional verification and repair within each task, an experience library shared across tasks, and offline updating of the judge. Candidate experiences enter the library only after paired A/B validation, and the judge is updated with supervised fine-tuning and GRPO on accumulated image-judgment records and evaluated before reuse. We also introduce ImageReq-Bench, a benchmark of 961 requests built around hard cases in real-world image-generation requests, each paired with an evaluation checklist. ImageRSI achieves a Checklist Strict Accuracy (CSA) of 52.6% on MindBench (with Nano Banana Pro as the generator) and 65.66% on ImageReq-Bench, and we compare system outcomes across judge-training configurations.

The impact of agile practices on communication in software development

The study shows that agile practices improve both informal and formal communication, but indicates that, in larger development situations involving multiple external stakeholders, a mismatch of adequate communication mechanisms can sometimes even hinder the communication.
