[Submitted on 22 Sep 2026] Title:Feed the Panel Dimensions, Not Verdicts: Rubric-Decomposed Fusion of Vision-Language Aesthetic Judges View a PDF of the paper titled Feed the Panel Dimensions, Not Verdicts: Rubric-Decomposed Fusion of Vision-Language Aesthetic Judges, by Amit Jadhav and 2 other authors View PDF HTML (experimental) Abstract:Vision-language models (VLMs) are deployed as zero-shot judges of image aesthetics, and panels of several models are recommended, on thin evidence, as the way to make such judges reliable. On two human-rated datasets, EVA and PARA, we find that a panel of holistic judges never significantly beats its best member, whether the verdicts are averaged or fused by a learned combiner. What a panel is worth depends on what it is fed. We therefore have each model score each image on the five dimensions of a frozen, human-written rubric and fuse those scores, alongside each model's verdict, across model families with an out-of-fold combiner. The dimension scores measure what their labels claim: with the overall human score partialled out, a dimension prompt carries more attribute-specific information than the holistic prompt in 28 of 30 model-attribute cells. Fused, they beat the best single VLM in all ten three-family panels on EVA (against that best single model, +0.07 Spearman rho for the strongest trio and +0.10 for the pre-declared one, and +0.06 and +0.07 when averaged over twenty fold partitions; against the panel mean, the primary test gives +0.118 on its EVA design set), and on PARA they reach parity under Spearman rho and a small, non-significant loss under Kendall tau-b, where one model already captures 85% of the human noise ceiling. It is not a feature-count artefact: giving the same combiner an equal number of pure holistic columns, split from the same repetitions, does not reproduce it. The gain costs a few hundred labels, which do not transfer between datasets, and 4.8x the API calls on EVA; we report it with paired bootstraps and Kendall tau-b, alongside a failed pre-registration and the configurations that lost.
