Hi team! :smile:

In the Multimango platform you will evaluate and compare AI-generated out=
puts across multiple media types, including audio, video, image, text, an=
d Vision Language Model responses. =

These projects can be identified by the **"h2h"** label, indicating that =
the task involves
comparing two outputs head-to-head.

We have just uploaded the **Official Guidelines** for these projects. Thi=
s document will be extremely helpful while completing your tasks, so plea=
se make sure to **review it carefully**. You can find the link at the bot=
tom.

# :warning: Main Rule for ALL Evaluations

Annotators should **PRIORITIZE instruction following** and **realism/natu=
ralness** above all other qualities when deciding which media is better.

:memo: For example: =

> If Media A appears to be higher quality but does **not** follow instruc=
tions as good as Media B, then **Media B should be selected**. =

>
>Resolution alone should not outweigh instruction following unless it is =
**explicitly requested in the prompt**.

Outputs that look obviously **AI-generated** or **unnatural** should not =
be preferred. Common issues to watch for include:

* Overly smooth or artificial textures
* Unrealistic lighting or proportions
* A =E2=80=9Crendered=E2=80=9D or synthetic appearance

:prohibited: An AI-generated look does **not** equal better quality.
:prohibited: A visually appealing image does **not** automatically mean i=
t is better quality.

We previously posted an [announcement](https://community.outlier.ai/t/cri=
tical-feedback-for-evals-projects-h2h/2865599) for this.
