• Abstract: Visual text design plays a critical role in conveying themes, emotions, and atmospheres in multimodal formats such as film posters and album covers. Translating these visual and textual elements across languages extends the concept of translation beyond mere text, requiring the adaptation of aesthetic and stylistic features. To address this, we introduce a novel task of Multimodal Style Translation (MuST-Bench), a benchmark designed to evaluate the ability of visual text generation models to perform translation across different writing systems while preserving design intent. Our initial experiments on MuST-Bench reveal that existing visual text generation models struggle with the proposed task due to the inadequacy of textual descriptions in conveying visual design. In response, we introduce SIGIL, a framework for multimodal style translation that eliminates the need for style descriptions. SIGIL enhances image generation models through three innovations: glyph latent for multilingual settings, pretrained VAEs for stable style guidance, and an OCR model with reinforcement learning feedback for optimizing readable character generation. SIGIL outperforms existing baselines by achieving superior style consistency and legibility while maintaining visual fidelity, setting itself apart from traditional description-based approaches. We release MuST-Bench publicly for broader use and exploration https://huggingface.co/datasets/yejinc/MuST-Bench.

  We introduce a new framework named ARTIST to focus on the learning of text structures. We finetune a visual diffusion model, enabling it to assimilate textual structure information from the pretrained textual model. Empirical results on the MARIO-Eval benchmark underscore the effectiveness of the proposed method, showing an improvement of up to 15% in various metrics.

  We introduce a well-designed visual tokenizer to translate the non-linguistic image into a sequence of discrete tokens like a foreign language. The resulting visual tokens encompass high-level semantics worthy of a word and also support dynamic sequence length varying from the image. This unification empowers LaVIT to serve as an impressive generalist interface to understand and generate multi-modal content simultaneously.

For Masked Language Modeling (MLM), we propose a cross-distillation method to generate soft labels to enhance the robustness of model. For Image-Text Matching (ITM), we leverage the current language encoder to synthesize hard negatives based on the context of language input.

  Long texts usually involve more complicated author linguistic preferences such as discourse structures than sentences. We formulate the task of non-parallel story author-style transfer, which requires transferring an input story into a specified author style. We use an additional training objective to disentangle stylistic features from the learned discourse representation to prevent the model from degenerating to an auto-encoder.
