DataEvolver: Self-Evolving Multi-Agent Data Construction for Text-Rich Image Generation

Siyu Yan, Yizhen Gao, Yilin Wang, Dongxing Mao, Alex Jinpeng Wang — Text-rich image generation is one of the most challenging settings in image generation, since models must simultaneously produce visually realistic images and render legible, semantically aligned, and layout-consistent text. Existing data pipelines usually follow a static crawl-filter-freeze paradigm. They collect candidate samples, filter them once, and freeze the accepted data for training. However, rejected samples are usually discarded, although they often contain useful failure signals such as OCR errors and semantic mismatches. As a result, later construction rounds may repeat the same failure modes. To address these limitations, we propose DataEvolver, a self-evolving multi-agent framework for text-rich image data construction. DataEvolver treats data construction as feedback-driven construction policy evolution. A Retriever collects candidate samples, a Verifier assigns quality scores and rejection causes, a Critic summarizes round-level feedback into semantic feedback, and a Generator completes under-covered regions through targeted synthesis. The updated feedback memory then guides the next construction round. Experiments on text-rich image generation benchmarks show that DataEvolver produces more useful training data than fixed-dataset baselines under matched data budgets. At the 0.75M scale on PixArt-alpha, DataEvolver improves OCR-F1 over the strongest baseline by 85.3 percent on TextScenesHQ and
