• Abstract summary: We introduce a novel approach for prompt mixing, aiming to generate images at the intersection of multiple text prompts. We leverage the connection between diffusion models and the Black-Scholes model for pricing options in Finance. Our prompt-mixing algorithm is data-efficient, meaning it does not need additional training.

• Abstract: We introduce a novel approach for prompt mixing, aiming to generate images at the intersection of multiple text prompts using pre-trained text-to-image diffusion models. At each time step during diffusion denoising, our algorithm forecasts predictions w.r.t. the generated image and makes informed text conditioning decisions. To do so, we leverage the connection between diffusion models (rooted in non-equilibrium thermodynamics) and the Black-Scholes model for pricing options in Finance, and draw analogies between the variables in both contexts to derive an appropriate algorithm for prompt mixing using the Black Scholes model. Specifically, the parallels between diffusion models and the Black-Scholes model enable us to leverage properties related to the dynamics of the Markovian model derived in the Black-Scholes algorithm. Our prompt-mixing algorithm is data-efficient, meaning it does not need additional training. Furthermore, it operates without human intervention or hyperparameter tuning. We highlight the benefits of our approach by comparing it qualitatively and quantitatively to other prompt mixing techniques, including linear interpolation, alternating prompts, step-wise prompt switching, and CLIP-guided prompt selection across various scenarios such as single object per text prompt, multiple objects per text prompt and objects against backgrounds.

  We focus on the task of image segmentation, which is traditionally solved by training models on closed-vocabulary datasets. We leverage different and relatively small-sized, open-source foundation models for zero-shot open-vocabulary segmentation. Our approach (dubbed FreeSeg-Diff), which does not rely on any training, outperforms many training-based approaches on both Pascal VOC and COCO datasets.

  Cross-attention layers in diffusion models tend to disproportionately focus on certain tokens during the generation process. We introduce attention regulation, an on-the-fly optimization approach at inference time to align attention maps with the input text prompt. Experiment results show that our method consistently outperforms other baselines.
