• Abstract summary: diffusion-based text-to-image (T2I) models can lack faithfulness to the text prompt. We show that large T2I diffusion models are more faithful than usually assumed, and can generate images faithful to even complex prompts. We introduce a pipeline that generates candidate images for a text prompt and picks the best one according to an automatic scoring system.

• Abstract: Despite their impressive capabilities, diffusion-based text-to-image (T2I) models can lack faithfulness to the text prompt, where generated images may not contain all the mentioned objects, attributes or relations. To alleviate these issues, recent works proposed post-hoc methods to improve model faithfulness without costly retraining, by modifying how the model utilizes the input prompt. In this work, we take a step back and show that large T2I diffusion models are more faithful than usually assumed, and can generate images faithful to even complex prompts without the need to manipulate the generative process. Based on that, we show how faithfulness can be simply treated as a candidate selection problem instead, and introduce a straightforward pipeline that generates candidate images for a text prompt and picks the best one according to an automatic scoring system that can leverage already existing T2I evaluation metrics. Quantitative comparisons alongside user studies on diverse benchmarks show consistently improved faithfulness over post-hoc enhancement methods, with comparable or lower computational cost.

  Text-to-image (T2I) diffusion models, when fine-tuned on a few personal images, are able to generate visuals with a high degree of consistency. We propose to fine-tune the T2I model by maximizing consistency to reference images, while penalizing the deviation from the pretrained model.

  Text-to-image (T2I) research has grown explosively in the past year. One pain point persists: the text prompt engineering, and searching high-quality text prompts for customized results is more art than science. In this paper, we take "Text" out of a pre-trained T2I diffusion model, to reduce the burdensome prompt engineering efforts for users.

  We explore diffusion models for the problem of text-conditional image synthesis and compare two different guidance strategies. We find that the latter is preferred by human evaluators for both photorealism and caption similarity, and often produces photorealistic samples. Our models can be fine-tuned to perform image inpainting, enabling powerful text-driven image editing.

  Recent text-to-image matching models apply contrastive learning to large corpora of uncurated pairs of images and sentences.

The resulting captions are much less restrictive than those obtained by supervised captioning methods.
