WorldScore: A Unified Evaluation Benchmark for World Generation
Haoyi Duan, Hong-Xing Yu, Sirui Chen, Li Fei-Fei, Jiajun Wu
Abstract
We introduce the WorldScore benchmark, the first unified benchmark for world generation. We decompose world generation into a sequence of next-scene generation tasks with explicit camera trajectory-based layout specifications, enabling unified evaluation of diverse approaches from 3D and 4D scene generation to video generation models. The WorldScore benchmark encompasses a curated dataset of 3,000 test examples that span diverse worlds: static and dynamic, indoor and outdoor, photorealistic and stylized. The WorldScore metric evaluates generated worlds through three key aspects: controllability, quality, and dynamics. Through extensive evaluation of 20 representative models, including both open-source and closed-source ones, we reveal key insights and challenges for each category of models. Our dataset, evaluation code, and leaderboard can be found at https://haoyi-duan.github.io/ WorldScore/.
