• Abstract: Text-to-image diffusion models have recently received a lot of interest for their astonishing ability to produce high-fidelity images from text only. However, achieving one-shot generation that aligns with the user's intent is nearly impossible, yet small changes to the input prompt often result in very different images. This leaves the user with little semantic control. To put the user in control, we show how to interact with the diffusion process to flexibly steer it along semantic directions. This semantic guidance (SEGA) generalizes to any generative architecture using classifier-free guidance. More importantly, it allows for subtle and extensive edits, changes in composition and style, as well as optimizing the overall artistic conception. We demonstrate SEGA's effectiveness on both latent and pixel-based diffusion models such as Stable Diffusion, Paella, and DeepFloyd-IF using a variety of tasks, thus providing strong evidence for its versatility, flexibility, and improvements over existing methods.

  We propose a novel mask-free point-based image editing method, AdaptiveDrag, which generates images that better align with user intent. To ensure a comprehensive connection between the input image and the drag process, we have developed a semantic-driven optimization. Building on these effective designs, our method delivers superior generation results using only the single input image and the handle-target point pairs.

We also show the adaptability of the learned prompt distribution to other tasks, such as text-to-3D.

  This work focuses on inverting the diffusion model to obtain interpretable language prompts directly. We leverage the findings that different timesteps of the diffusion process cater to different levels of detail in an image. We show that our approach can identify semantically interpretable and meaningful prompts for a target image.
