• Abstract: Text-to-image diffusion models have made significant advancements in generating high-quality, diverse images from text prompts. However, the inherent limitations of textual signals often prevent these models from fully capturing specific concepts, thereby reducing their controllability. To address this issue, several approaches have incorporated personalization techniques, utilizing reference images to mine visual concept representations that complement textual inputs and enhance the controllability of text-to-image diffusion models. Despite these advances, a comprehensive, systematic exploration of visual concept mining remains limited. In this paper, we categorize existing research into four key areas: Concept Learning, Concept Erasing, Concept Decomposition, and Concept Combination. This classification provides valuable insights into the foundational principles of Visual Concept Mining (VCM) techniques. Additionally, we identify key challenges and propose future research directions to propel this important and interesting field forward.

  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.

  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 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.
