• Abstract: In recent years, diffusion stochastic differential equation (SDE) inversion and inversion-free methods have become prevalent for training-free image editing, as they can achieve faithful reconstruction without tuning. However, existing approaches remain inefficient, exhibit limited plasticity, and struggle to accurately preserve unedited regions. To address these issues, we propose MIEdit, a training-free editing framework based on SDE inversion. MIEdit introduces a predictor-corrector multi-history-step scheme to achieve superior editing quality with fewer steps. We further mitigate heterogeneity and conflict between the multi-conditioned noise residuals and gradient terms during sampling, improving stability and editing plasticity under large edits. MIEdit also includes Inversion-Time Automatic Semantic Angle Masking (IASM); it leverages classifier-free guidance to automatically generate semantic angle masks during inversion and applies them throughout the sampling process for regional constraints, without extra user inputs. We additionally construct EditEval++ (30 fine-grained tasks, 1,000+ image-text-mask triplets) for comprehensive evaluation; experiments show that MIEdit outperforms state-of-the-art techniques.

  Large Language Models (LLMs) are widely deployed in downstream tasks, but keeping their knowledge up-to-date via retraining or fine-tuning is often computationally expensive.<n>Model editing provides a more efficient alternative by updating a targeted subset of parameters, which often follows the locate-and-edit paradigm.<n>We propose two complementary methods: iterative model editing, which applies successive edits to mitigate UnderEdit, and neighbor-assisted model editing, which incorporates neighboring knowledge during editing to reduce OverEdit.
