The pith

MAOAM uses one vision-language model to select either objects or materials from text or click prompts and output pixel masks.

A machine-rendered reading of the paper's core claim, the machinery that carries it, and where it could break.

The paper presents MAOAM as a single framework that interprets user intent to select objects or materials in an image and produces accurate masks, whether the input is text, a click, or both. Prior VLM selection methods handled only objects and one input type, which restricts editing tasks such as changing all surfaces of one material. MAOAM pairs a VLM that encodes entities, attributes, and relations with a segmentation head that decodes to masks. Because no suitable material datasets existed, the authors built a pipeline that gathers images with material masks and uses VLMs to write rich descriptions, then trains the model on click-based selection, text-based selection, and an auxiliary visual question-answering task. The resulting model shows accurate results on varied scenes and gains further accuracy when text and clicks are supplied together at inference time even though training used only single-modality prompts.

Core claim

MAOAM is a unified selection framework in which a vision-language model interprets a user's object-level or material-level intent from text or click prompts, encodes the relevant visual entities, attributes, and spatial relations, and a segmentation head converts the output token into a pixel-accurate mask; the model is trained with a multi-task objective on click and text selection plus an auxiliary VQA task derived from VLM-generated material descriptions obtained through a scalable pipeline that collects real and synthetic images carrying material masks.

What carries the argument

VLM with segmentation head that interprets selection intent for objects or materials and decodes the output token into a mask.

If this is right

  • The same model supports both object and material selection without separate networks.
  • Text-plus-click prompts at inference improve mask quality even though training used only uni-modal examples.
  • Material selection enables direct re-texturing or instance editing of all surfaces sharing one material.
  • Training with the auxiliary VQA task strengthens material understanding beyond pure segmentation.

Where Pith is reading between the lines

These are editorial extensions of the paper, not claims the author makes directly.

  • Embedding the model in photo-editing tools would let users change every instance of a chosen material in one operation rather than clicking each surface separately.
  • The same data-pipeline idea could be reused to add other selection criteria such as color families or lighting conditions if matching image collections exist.
  • Running the model on video frames or 3-D rendered scenes would test whether material selections remain coherent across time or viewpoint changes.

Load-bearing premise

The material descriptions produced by the VLM data-generation pipeline are accurate and semantically rich enough to train effective material-level selection.

What would settle it

Collect a held-out set of images with human-verified material region annotations and measure whether MAOAM's material selections match those regions at rates no higher than an object-only baseline or random guessing.

Selection is a core operation in interactive image editing. To be practical, a user should be able to specify and disambiguate the desired selection region through either text or click-based interactions, and the system should support selecting not only objects but also other criteria, such as materials. Material-based selection is valuable for tasks like re-texturing surfaces or editing instances of a specific material. However, existing vision-language-model (VLM) based selection methods are object-centric and typically support a single interaction modality, limiting their applicability. In this work, we thus present Mask Any Object And Material (MAOAM), a unified selection framework that enables precise object and material-level selection across both text- and click-based interactions. MAOAM leverages a VLM with a segmentation head to produce pixel-accurate masks from user prompts: the VLM interprets the user's selection intent (object or material-level) and encodes visual entities, attributes, and spatial relations, while the segmentation head decodes the output token into a mask. A key challenge is the lack of material selection datasets with text annotations. We propose a scalable data generation pipeline: we collect real and synthetic images with material masks, and leverage VLMs to generate material descriptions with rich visual-semantics. We train MAOAM with a multi-task objective over click and text-based selection, along with an auxiliary VQA task derived from the material descriptions to facilitate deeper material understanding. Despite being trained with uni-modal prompts, our model exhibits an emergent improvement in selection when combining text and clicks at inference, enabling flexible image editing workflows. Experiments demonstrate accurate and coherent selections across diverse objects, materials, and interaction scenarios, highlighting robustness in practice.

Referee Report

2 major / 2 minor

Summary. The paper presents MAOAM, a VLM-based framework with a segmentation head for unified object- and material-level selection in images. It supports both text and click prompts, introduces a scalable pipeline that uses VLMs to generate material descriptions from masked images, trains via a multi-task objective (selection + auxiliary VQA), and reports an emergent benefit from combined text+click prompts at inference along with accurate performance across diverse scenarios.

Significance. If the central claims hold, the work would be significant for interactive image editing by extending VLM selection beyond object-centric, single-modality methods to include material-level disambiguation with flexible interactions. The scalable data-generation pipeline and multi-task training that yields emergent cross-modal behavior are concrete strengths that could influence downstream editing tools.

major comments (2)
  1. [Data Generation Pipeline] Data Generation Pipeline section: the central claim that the pipeline produces 'rich visual-semantics' sufficient for material-level selection and the auxiliary VQA task rests on unvalidated VLM-generated descriptions. No quantitative accuracy metric, human agreement study, or error analysis on the generated text is reported; if hallucinations or omissions are present, both the multi-task objective and the claimed material selection accuracy would be undermined.
  2. [Experiments] Experiments section: the claim of 'accurate and coherent selections' and 'emergent improvement' when combining text and clicks is presented without reported ablations isolating the contribution of the auxiliary VQA task or the material-description quality, making it difficult to assess whether the multi-task objective is load-bearing for the reported robustness.
minor comments (2)
  1. [Method] Notation for the segmentation head output token and its decoding into masks could be clarified with an explicit equation or diagram reference.
  2. [Experiments] The abstract states results 'across diverse objects, materials, and interaction scenarios' but the experiments section would benefit from a table summarizing quantitative metrics (e.g., IoU, precision) against explicit baselines for both object and material tasks.

We thank the referee for the constructive feedback. We address the two major comments below and commit to revisions that directly strengthen the validation and analysis sections.

  1. Referee: [Data Generation Pipeline] Data Generation Pipeline section: the central claim that the pipeline produces 'rich visual-semantics' sufficient for material-level selection and the auxiliary VQA task rests on unvalidated VLM-generated descriptions. No quantitative accuracy metric, human agreement study, or error analysis on the generated text is reported; if hallucinations or omissions are present, both the multi-task objective and the claimed material selection accuracy would be undermined.

    Authors: We agree that the current manuscript lacks direct quantitative validation of the VLM-generated material descriptions. While end-to-end selection performance provides indirect support, this does not substitute for explicit checks on description quality. In the revised version we will add a human agreement study on a sampled subset of generated descriptions together with an error analysis categorizing hallucinations, omissions, and attribute accuracy. This will be reported with inter-annotator agreement metrics. revision: yes

  2. Referee: [Experiments] Experiments section: the claim of 'accurate and coherent selections' and 'emergent improvement' when combining text and clicks is presented without reported ablations isolating the contribution of the auxiliary VQA task or the material-description quality, making it difficult to assess whether the multi-task objective is load-bearing for the reported robustness.

    Authors: We acknowledge the absence of targeted ablations on the auxiliary VQA task and on material-description quality. The reported results demonstrate overall performance and the emergent text+click behavior, yet do not isolate the contribution of each component. In revision we will add (i) an ablation removing the VQA loss and (ii) a controlled comparison using lower-quality or template-based descriptions, reporting the resulting changes in selection metrics and emergent behavior. revision: yes

Circularity Check

0 steps flagged

No significant circularity; derivation is self-contained

full rationale

The paper describes a training pipeline that uses external VLMs to generate material descriptions from images with masks, then trains a VLM+segmentation model on a multi-task objective (click/text selection + auxiliary VQA). No equations, fitted parameters, or predictions are shown to reduce to the inputs by construction. No self-citations are invoked as load-bearing uniqueness theorems or ansatzes. The data-generation step relies on off-the-shelf VLMs rather than the model's own outputs, and experimental claims are presented as empirical results rather than derived identities. This matches the default case of an independent modeling effort.
