• Abstract: Diffusion models have demonstrated great success in the field of text-to-image generation. However, alleviating the misalignment between the text prompts and images is still challenging. The root reason behind the misalignment has not been extensively investigated. We observe that the misalignment is caused by inadequate token attention activation. We further attribute this phenomenon to the diffusion model's insufficient condition utilization, which is caused by its training paradigm. To address the issue, we propose CoMat, an end-to-end diffusion model fine-tuning strategy with an image-to-text concept matching mechanism. We leverage an image captioning model to measure image-to-text alignment and guide the diffusion model to revisit ignored tokens. A novel attribute concentration module is also proposed to address the attribute binding problem. Without any image or human preference data, we use only 20K text prompts to fine-tune SDXL to obtain CoMat-SDXL. Extensive experiments show that CoMat-SDXL significantly outperforms the baseline model SDXL in two text-to-image alignment benchmarks and achieves start-of-the-art performance.

ITIT is comprised of a joint image-text encoder with disjoint image and text decoders that enable bidirectional image-to-text and text-to-image generation in a single framework.

  A crucial factor leading to the text-image mismatch issue is the inadequate cross-modality relation learning.

  Large-scale diffusion neural networks represent a substantial milestone in text-to-image generation. They remain poorly understood, lacking explainability and interpretability analyses, largely due to their proprietary, closed-source nature. We propose DAAM, a novel method based on upscaling and aggregating cross-attention activations in the latent denoising subnetwork. We show that DAAM performs strongly on caption-generated images, achieving an mIoU of 61.0, and it outperforms supervised models on open-vocabulary segmentation.
