EditCLEVR: A Paired-Scene Intervention Benchmark for Compositional Faithfulness of Object-Centric Representations
EditCLEVR is a new benchmark for evaluating compositional faithfulness in object-centric learning. It uses paired-scene interventions—exact attribute edits or no-edit rerenders—to test whether models correctly alter object representations under semantic edits. The benchmark introduces Scene-Graph Intervention Accuracy (SGIA) and Delta-SGIA metrics, requiring full after-scene correctness and single-change detection, respectively. Baseline evaluations reveal that compositional out-of-distribution degradation persists even with ground-truth masks, and locality or stability alone can overstate semantic faithfulness.

Abstract:Object-centric learning aims to represent scenes as objects whose properties can be reused in new combinations. Existing evaluations usually score segmentation, single-image factor prediction, or downstream accuracy, but these tests do not directly ask whether a per-object representation behaves correctly under a controlled semantic edit. We introduce EditCLEVR, a paired-scene intervention benchmark in which each example contains a before/after pair of CLEVR-style renders with the same object indices and scene layout, and either exactly one known attribute change on one known object or a no-edit re-render for drift measurement. The protocol includes probe-free diagnostics for representation-change localization and stability, together with probe-decoded semantic faithfulness metrics that test whether the predicted scene change matches the intended intervention across in-distribution and compositional out-of-distribution (OOD) suites, allowing code-space movement and decoded object-attribute correctness to be evaluated separately. We introduce the semantic metric Scene-Graph Intervention Accuracy (SGIA), which requires the full after-scene prediction to be correct and the only predicted before-to-after semantic change to be the intended object-factor edit. We also establish Delta-SGIA as a companion diagnostic that checks the single-site change pattern without requiring the full after-scene graph to be correct. Baseline evaluations on ground-truth-mask backbones, learned-slot models, SAM 2 + frozen-ViT models, and one mask-feature hybrid indicate that CoGenT-OOD-core degradation can persist under ground-truth instance masks, that mask source accounts for part but not all of native performance, and that locality or stability alone can overstate semantic faithfulness.
