• Abstract summary: Large-scale diffusion-based generative models have led to breakthroughs in text-conditioned high-resolution image synthesis. We train an ensemble of text-to-image diffusion models specialized for different stages synthesis. Our ensemble of diffusion models, called eDiffi, results in improved text alignment while maintaining the same inference cost.

• Abstract: Large-scale diffusion-based generative models have led to breakthroughs in text-conditioned high-resolution image synthesis. Starting from random noise, such text-to-image diffusion models gradually synthesize images in an iterative fashion while conditioning on text prompts. We find that their synthesis behavior qualitatively changes throughout this process: Early in sampling, generation strongly relies on the text prompt to generate text-aligned content, while later, the text conditioning is almost entirely ignored. This suggests that sharing model parameters throughout the entire generation process may not be ideal. Therefore, in contrast to existing works, we propose to train an ensemble of text-to-image diffusion models specialized for different synthesis stages. To maintain training efficiency, we initially train a single model, which is then split into specialized models that are trained for the specific stages of the iterative generation process. Our ensemble of diffusion models, called eDiffi, results in improved text alignment while maintaining the same inference computation cost and preserving high visual quality, outperforming previous large-scale text-to-image diffusion models on the standard benchmark. In addition, we train our model to exploit a variety of embeddings for conditioning, including the T5 text, CLIP text, and CLIP image embeddings. We show that these different embeddings lead to different behaviors. Notably, the CLIP image embedding allows an intuitive way of transferring the style of a reference image to the target text-to-image output. Lastly, we show a technique that enables eDiffi's "paint-with-words" capability. A user can select the word in the input text and paint it in a canvas to control the output, which is very handy for crafting the desired image in mind.

• Contextualized Diffusion Models for Text-Guided Image and Video Generation [67.69171154637172]
  Conditional diffusion models have exhibited superior performance in high-fidelity text-guided visual generation and editing. We propose a novel and general contextualized diffusion model (ContextDiff) by incorporating the cross-modal context encompassing interactions and alignments between text condition and visual sample. We generalize our model to both DDPMs and DDIMs with theoretical derivations, and demonstrate the effectiveness of our model in evaluations with two challenging tasks: text-to-image generation, and text-to-video editing.

  This paper proposes a novel approach for text image generation, utilizing a pre-trained diffusion model.

By employing an inference stage refinement process, we achieve a notably high sequence accuracy when synthesizing text in arbitrarily given images.

  Current personalization methods can invert an object or concept into the textual conditioning space and compose new natural sentences for text-to-image diffusion models. We propose a novel approach that leverages the step-by-step generation process of diffusion models, which generate images from low to high frequency information. We apply ProSpect in various personalized attribute-aware image generation applications, such as image-guided or text-driven manipulations of materials, style, and layout.
