• Abstract: Story visualization has become a popular task where visual scenes are generated to depict a narrative across multiple panels. A central challenge in this setting is maintaining visual consistency, particularly in how characters and objects persist and evolve throughout the story. Despite recent advances in diffusion models, current approaches often fail to preserve key character attributes, leading to incoherent narratives. In this work, we propose a collaborative multi-agent framework that autonomously identifies, corrects, and refines inconsistencies across multi-panel story visualizations. The agents operate in an iterative loop, enabling fine-grained, panel-level updates without re-generating entire sequences. Our framework is model-agnostic and flexibly integrates with a variety of diffusion models, including rectified flow transformers such as Flux and latent diffusion models such as Stable Diffusion. Quantitative and qualitative experiments show that our method outperforms prior approaches in terms of multi-panel consistency.

  Conditional diffusion models have exhibited superior performance in high-fidelity text-guided visual generation and editing. We propose a novel and general contextualized diffusion model (ContextDiff) by incorporating the cross-modal context encompassing interactions and alignments between text condition and visual sample. We generalize our model to both DDPMs and DDIMs with theoretical derivations, and demonstrate the effectiveness of our model in evaluations with two challenging tasks: text-to-image generation, and text-to-video editing.

• Learning to Model Multimodal Semantic Alignment for Story Visualization [58.16484259508973]
  Story visualization aims to generate a sequence of images to narrate each sentence in a multi-sentence story. Current works face the problem of semantic misalignment because of their fixed architecture and diversity of input modalities. We explore the semantic alignment between text and image representations by learning to match their semantic levels in the GAN-based generative model.
