• Abstract summary: We study the efficacy and shortcomings of generative models in the context of face generation. We identify several limitations of face image generation that include faithfulness to the text prompt, demographic disparities, and distributional shifts. We present an analytical model that provides insights into how training data selection contributes to the performance of generative models.

• Abstract: Text-to-image diffusion models have achieved widespread popularity due to their unprecedented image generation capability. In particular, their ability to synthesize and modify human faces has spurred research into using generated face images in both training data augmentation and model performance assessments. In this paper, we study the efficacy and shortcomings of generative models in the context of face generation. Utilizing a combination of qualitative and quantitative measures, including embedding-based metrics and user studies, we present a framework to audit the characteristics of generated faces conditioned on a set of social attributes. We applied our framework on faces generated through state-of-the-art text-to-image diffusion models. We identify several limitations of face image generation that include faithfulness to the text prompt, demographic disparities, and distributional shifts. Furthermore, we present an analytical model that provides insights into how training data selection contributes to the performance of generative models.

  We show that face images with certain degree of similarities to their identity centers show great effectiveness in the performance of trained face recognition models. Inspired by this, we propose a novel diffusion-based approach (namely Center-based Semi-hard Synthetic Face Generation) which produces facial samples with various levels of similarity to the subject center.

• Analyzing Quality, Bias, and Performance in Text-to-Image Generative Models [0.0]
  Despite advances in generative models, most studies ignore the presence of bias. In this paper, we examine several text-to-image models not only by qualitatively assessing their performance in generating accurate images of human faces, groups, and specified numbers of objects but also by presenting a social bias analysis. As expected, models with larger capacity generate higher-quality images. However, we also document the inherent gender or social biases these models possess, offering a more complete understanding of their impact and limitations.

  This study introduces YaART, a novel production-grade text-to-image cascaded diffusion model aligned to human preferences. We analyze how these choices affect both the efficiency of the training process and the quality of the generated images. We demonstrate that models trained on smaller datasets of higher-quality images can successfully compete with those trained on larger datasets.

  Text-to-image generation (TTI) refers to the usage of models that could process text input and generate high fidelity images based on text descriptions. Diffusion models are one prominent type of generative model used for the generation of images through the systematic introduction of noises with repeating steps. In the era of large models, scaling up model size and the integration with large language models have further improved the performance of TTI models.

  This paper performs the first privacy analysis of text-to-image generation models through the lens of membership inference. We propose three key intuitions about membership information and design four attack methodologies accordingly. All of the proposed attacks can achieve significant performance, in some cases even close to an accuracy of 1, and thus the corresponding risk is much more severe than that shown by existing membership inference attacks.
