The paper introduces Diffusion LAIR, a listwise preference optimization technique that leverages continuous reward scores instead of binary pairwise comparisons to align text‑to‑image diffusion models. LAIR transforms reward scores into centered advantage weights and optimizes an advantage‑weighted regression objective on an implicit reward defined by denoising‑loss improvement over a reference model, with a quadratic penalty to regulate reward magnitude. Experiments demonstrate that Diffusion LAIR surpasses strong baseline methods on SD1.5 and SDXL across generation, compositional, and editing tasks.

The paper introduces a unified benchmark for personalized image generation that uses users' historical data—such as reviews, posts, images, captions, and metadata—to create images aligned with their lifestyle and aesthetic preferences. It defines two tasks: Personalized Scene Generation, which places objects in scenes reflecting user preferences for product presentation, and Personalized Creative Generation, which produces novel images faithful to a user's aesthetic for social media content. The authors also propose PEARL, a method that interleaves multimodal reasoning with a frozen image generator, achieving a 15% average improvement over baselines on personalization metrics.

The paper presents a post‑training approach for text‑to‑image models that combines a preference reward, trained on large human preference data, with rubric‑based rewards that assess prompt faithfulness and other desirable traits. The authors show that a simple reward composition strategy outperforms a naive weighted average, leading to significant Elo gains on the Arena leaderboard for models like Flux2dev and Ideogram‑4. They also release Arena‑T2I‑Training, a 1K subset of data to aid reproducible research in post‑training.

Personalized image generation has remained narrowly focused on conditional synthesis from curated visual exemplars, rather than capturing who a user is. In practice, however, a user's personal context...
