• Abstract: Text-to-image (T2I) models are increasingly used in impactful real-life applications. As such, there is a growing need to audit these models to ensure that they generate desirable, task-appropriate images. However, systematically inspecting the associations between prompts and generated content in a human-understandable way remains challenging. To address this, we propose Concept2Concept, a framework where we characterize conditional distributions of vision language models using interpretable concepts and metrics that can be defined in terms of these concepts. This characterization allows us to use our framework to audit models and prompt-datasets. To demonstrate, we investigate several case studies of conditional distributions of prompts, such as user-defined distributions or empirical, real-world distributions. Lastly, we implement Concept2Concept as an open-source interactive visualization tool to facilitate use by non-technical end-users. A demo is available at https://tinyurl.com/Concept2ConceptDemo.

  We propose a unique technique to enable responsible T2I generation in a scalable manner. The key idea is to distill the target T2I pipeline with an external plug-and-play mechanism that learns an interpretable composite responsible space for the desired concepts. At inference, the learned space is utilized to modulate the generative content.

  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.

In respect of knowledge "catastrophic forgetting", our L2DM framework devises a task-aware memory enhancement module and a elastic-concept distillation module. Our model can generate more faithful image across a range of continual text prompts in terms of both qualitative and quantitative metrics.

Our results point to a trade-off between learning the concepts and preserving the compositionality which existing approaches struggle to overcome.
