EditCLIP: Representation Learning for Image Editing

📚 Introduction

The TOP-Bench-X dataset offers Query and Exemplar image pairs tailored for exemplar-based image editing. We built it by adapting the TOP-Bench dataset from InstructBrush (also uploaded huggingface version at Aleksandar/InstructBrush-Bench). Specifically, we use the original training split to generate exemplar images and the test split to supply their corresponding queries. In total, TOP-Bench-X comprises 1,277 samples, including 257 distinct exemplars and 124 unique queries.

💡 Abstract

We introduce EditCLIP, a novel representation-learning approach for image editing. Our method learns a unified representation of edits by jointly encoding an input image and its edited counterpart, effectively capturing their transformation. To evaluate its effectiveness, we employ EditCLIP to solve two tasks: exemplar-based image editing and automated edit evaluation. In exemplar-based image editing, we replace text-based instructions in InstructPix2Pix with EditCLIP embeddings computed from a reference exemplar image pair. Experiments demonstrate that our approach outperforms state-of-the-art methods while being more efficient and versatile. For automated evaluation, EditCLIP assesses image edits by measuring the similarity between the EditCLIP embedding of a given image pair and either a textual editing instruction or the EditCLIP embedding of another reference image pair. Experiments show that EditCLIP aligns more closely with human judgments than existing CLIP-based metrics, providing a reliable measure of edit quality and structural preservation.

🧠 Data explained

Each sample consists of 4 images (2 pairs of images) and metadata, specifically:

1. input_test – the query image (I_q) from the test split (“before” image you want to edit)
2. input_gt – the ground-truth edited version of that query image (“after” image for the test)
3. exemplar_input – the exemplar’s input image (I_i) from the training split (“before” image of the exemplar)
4. exemplar_edit – the exemplar’s edited image (I_e) from the training split (“after” image of the exemplar)
