• Title: ConceptExpress: Harnessing Diffusion Models for Single-image Unsupervised Concept Extraction
• Authors: Shaozhe Hao, Kai Han, Zhengyao Lv, Shihao Zhao, Kwan-Yee K. Wong,
• Abstract summary: We introduce a novel task named Unsupervised Concept Extraction (UCE) that considers an unsupervised setting without any human knowledge of the concepts. Given an image that contains multiple concepts, the task aims to extract and recreate individual concepts solely relying on the existing knowledge from pretrained diffusion models. We present ConceptExpress that tackles UCE by unleashing the inherent capabilities of pretrained diffusion models in two aspects.

• Abstract: While personalized text-to-image generation has enabled the learning of a single concept from multiple images, a more practical yet challenging scenario involves learning multiple concepts within a single image. However, existing works tackling this scenario heavily rely on extensive human annotations. In this paper, we introduce a novel task named Unsupervised Concept Extraction (UCE) that considers an unsupervised setting without any human knowledge of the concepts. Given an image that contains multiple concepts, the task aims to extract and recreate individual concepts solely relying on the existing knowledge from pretrained diffusion models. To achieve this, we present ConceptExpress that tackles UCE by unleashing the inherent capabilities of pretrained diffusion models in two aspects. Specifically, a concept localization approach automatically locates and disentangles salient concepts by leveraging spatial correspondence from diffusion self-attention; and based on the lookup association between a concept and a conceptual token, a concept-wise optimization process learns discriminative tokens that represent each individual concept. Finally, we establish an evaluation protocol tailored for the UCE task. Extensive experiments demonstrate that ConceptExpress is a promising solution to the UCE task.

  Text-to-image (TTI) models have demonstrated impressive results in generating high-resolution images of complex scenes. Recent approaches have extended these methods with personalization techniques that allow them to integrate user-illustrated concepts. However, the ability to generate images with multiple interacting concepts, such as human subjects, as well as concepts that may be entangled in one, or across multiple, image illustrations remains illusive. We propose a concept-driven TTI personalization framework that addresses these core challenges.

  We consider a more ambitious goal: natural multi-concept generation using a pre-trained diffusion model. We observe concept dominance and non-localized contribution that severely degrade multi-concept generation performance. We design a minimal low-cost solution that overcomes the above issues by tweaking the text embeddings for more realistic multi-concept text-to-image generation.

We further propose a Concept Disentangling Loss to facilitate that different concept tokens represent independent visual concepts.
