• Abstract summary: We exploit a training-free technique that steers diffusion models using an existing classifier, for personalized image generation. Our study shows that based on a recent rectified flow framework, the major limitation of vanilla classifier guidance can be resolved with a simple fixed-point solution. The derived method is implemented on rectified flow with different off-the-shelf image discriminators, delivering advantageous personalization results for human faces, live subjects, and certain objects.

• Abstract: Customizing diffusion models to generate identity-preserving images from user-provided reference images is an intriguing new problem. The prevalent approaches typically require training on extensive domain-specific images to achieve identity preservation, which lacks flexibility across different use cases. To address this issue, we exploit classifier guidance, a training-free technique that steers diffusion models using an existing classifier, for personalized image generation. Our study shows that based on a recent rectified flow framework, the major limitation of vanilla classifier guidance in requiring a special classifier can be resolved with a simple fixed-point solution, allowing flexible personalization with off-the-shelf image discriminators. Moreover, its solving procedure proves to be stable when anchored to a reference flow trajectory, with a convergence guarantee. The derived method is implemented on rectified flow with different off-the-shelf image discriminators, delivering advantageous personalization results for human faces, live subjects, and certain objects.

  zero-shot multi-label classification has garnered considerable attention for its capacity to operate predictions on unseen labels without human annotations. prevailing approaches often use seen classes as imperfect proxies for unseen ones, resulting in suboptimal performance. We propose an innovative solution: generating synthetic data to construct a training set explicitly tailored for proxyless training on unseen labels.

  We propose a non-invasive fine-tuning technique that capitalizes on the expressive potential of free-form text. Our method is fast compared to prior fine-tuning methods and does not require a collection of in-class images. We evaluate our method extensively, showing that the generated images are: (i) more accurate and of higher quality than standard diffusion models, (ii) can be used to augment training data in a low-resource setting, and (iii) reveal information about the data used to train the guiding classifier.

  Visual Counterfactual Explanations (VCEs) are an important tool to understand the decisions of an image. Current approaches for the generation of VCEs are restricted to adversarially robust models and often contain non-realistic artefacts. In this paper, we overcome this by generating Visual Diffusion Counterfactual Explanations (DVCEs) for arbitrary ImageNet classifiers.
