• Abstract: Recent advances in text-to-image (T2I) models have revolutionized the field of image generation and editing. However, identifying semantics that a T2I model can successfully edit in an image continues to be a challenging task. Most existing approaches require users to manually specify semantics to modify a particular image, a time-consuming process that often involves extensive trial and error. In this paper, we present RankT2I, a novel, training-free, and model-agnostic framework that automates the discovery of editable semantics in diffusion and FLUX-based models. Given a visual domain, we first utilize a multimodal vision-language model to gather a broad set of candidate semantics. We then frame semantic discovery as a set selection problem and use a submodular objective to identify semantics that are relevant, editable, and diverse. Our method helps users efficiently identify a wide range of semantics for text-to-image editing models across several domains while outperforming existing methods.

  We propose a novel plug-in method, called DreamMatcher, which reformulates T2I personalization as semantic matching. Specifically, DreamMatcher replaces the target values with reference values aligned by semantic matching, while leaving the structure path unchanged. We also introduce a semantic-consistent masking strategy to isolate the personalized concept from irrelevant regions introduced by the target prompts.
