• Abstract: Diffusion-based text-to-image models often fail on complex prompts involving multiple entities, attributes, and relations, producing object omissions, incorrect attribute assignments, or reversed spatial layouts. Existing training-free methods mainly strengthen token-level attention, but do not explicitly model which attributes belong to which entities or when different constraints should be enforced during denoising. We introduce \textbf{CoBind}, a training-free framework for stage-aware compositional binding. CoBind parses a prompt into a composition graph of entities, attributes, and relations. It first establishes the global layout using entity-completeness and relation constraints, then binds attributes to their target entities through contrastive cross-entity optimization. Structural guidance is gradually relaxed in later denoising steps to preserve textures and visual details. CoBind also adapts the guidance strength according to the current satisfaction of each constraint, reducing unnecessary latent updates. CoBind requires no retraining or additional annotations. Experiments on T2I-CompBench++, GenEval, and multiple diffusion backbones show consistent improvements in attribute binding, spatial relations, and complex compositional generation while maintaining competitive visual quality.

We propose focused cross-attention (FCA) that controls the visual attention maps by syntactic constraints found in the input sentence. We show substantial improvements in T2I generation and especially its attribute-object binding on several datasets.
