• Abstract summary: We investigate a scalable approach for collecting large-scale and fully synthetic datasets for DPO training. The preferences for paired images are generated using a pre-trained reward function, eliminating the need for involving humans in the annotation process. We introduce RankDPO to enhance DPO-based methods using the ranking feedback.

• Abstract: Direct Preference Optimization (DPO) has emerged as a powerful approach to align text-to-image (T2I) models with human feedback. Unfortunately, successful application of DPO to T2I models requires a huge amount of resources to collect and label large-scale datasets, e.g., millions of generated paired images annotated with human preferences. In addition, these human preference datasets can get outdated quickly as the rapid improvements of T2I models lead to higher quality images. In this work, we investigate a scalable approach for collecting large-scale and fully synthetic datasets for DPO training. Specifically, the preferences for paired images are generated using a pre-trained reward function, eliminating the need for involving humans in the annotation process, greatly improving the dataset collection efficiency. Moreover, we demonstrate that such datasets allow averaging predictions across multiple models and collecting ranked preferences as opposed to pairwise preferences. Furthermore, we introduce RankDPO to enhance DPO-based methods using the ranking feedback. Applying RankDPO on SDXL and SD3-Medium models with our synthetically generated preference dataset "Syn-Pic" improves both prompt-following (on benchmarks like T2I-Compbench, GenEval, and DPG-Bench) and visual quality (through user studies). This pipeline presents a practical and scalable solution to develop better preference datasets to enhance the performance of text-to-image models.

  We aim to improve the preference optimization pipeline by taking a closer look at preference data generation and training regularization techniques. For preference data generation, we propose an iterative pairwise ranking mechanism that derives preference ranking of completions using pairwise comparison signals. For training regularization, we observe that preference optimization tends to achieve better convergence when the LLM predicted likelihood of preferred samples gets slightly reduced.

  Multi-Image Augmented Direct Preference Optimization (MIA-DPO) is a visual preference alignment approach that effectively handles multi-image inputs. MIA-DPO mitigates the scarcity of diverse multi-image training data by extending single-image data with unrelated images arranged in grid collages or pic-in-pic formats.

  Given a descriptive text query, text-based person search aims to retrieve the best-matched target person from an image gallery. Such a cross-modal retrieval task is quite challenging due to significant modality gap, fine-grained differences and insufficiency of annotated data. In this paper, we propose a simple yet effective dual Transformer model for text-based person search.
