Emotion-Aware Image Generation from Korean Diary Text via LLM-based Prompt Translation and LoRA Fine-Tuning

arXiv:2606. 05816v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: T2I models cannot effectively capture sentiment from various types of text, including diaries, as they primarily focus on visual object-related patterns rather than contextual emotional understanding.

Emotion Experience, Expression, and Perception: Emotion Analysis on Multimodal Social Media Posts

The paper introduces the Mult2EMo dataset, which gathers annotations from both authors and readers on multimodal social media posts and the real‑world events that triggered them. It investigates how well readers can reconstruct the authors’ emotional experience from the post content, emphasizing the importance of both text and image modalities. The study finds that accurate emotion reconstruction is possible but remains challenging, especially when images dominate the expression and when understanding the triggering event is essential.

AffectDelta: Beyond Emotion Labels for Image Editing

AffectDelta is a new image editing framework that moves beyond single emotion labels by modeling edits as transitions between eight‑dimensional emotion distributions. It uses a frozen Emotion Distribution Predictor to estimate the source state and a signed difference vector to encode the desired change, which is then translated into context‑dependent semantic and appearance modifications via a transition encoder and a diffusion backbone. The authors introduce AffectPair‑249K, a dataset of 248,841 source‑target pairs covering both cross‑category and within‑category transitions, and show that AffectDelta outperforms six baselines in affective alignment and content preservation.

AffectDelta: Beyond Emotion Labels for Image Editing

AffectDelta is a new image editing framework that moves beyond single emotion labels by modeling edits as transitions between eight‑dimensional emotion distributions. It uses a frozen Emotion Distribution Predictor to estimate the source image’s affective state and encodes the signed difference to guide a diffusion backbone that applies context‑dependent semantic and appearance changes. The authors created a large AffectPair‑249K dataset of source‑target pairs and show that AffectDelta outperforms six baselines in both affective alignment and content preservation, with ablation studies supporting their design choices.

CompArt: Operationalizing Aesthetic Alignment in Text-to-Image Generation via Principles of Art

CompArt introduces a new approach to aesthetic alignment in text-to-image generation by using the Principles of Art (PoA) such as Balance, Rhythm, and Emphasis to define explicit compositional constraints. The authors create a large dataset of 80,032 WikiArt images, each annotated with PoA analyses generated by a multimodal LLM, and present ArtDapter, a lightweight adapter that steers a pretrained diffusion model along ten PoA dimensions while preserving semantic fidelity. Experiments demonstrate that CompArt outperforms strong baselines in adhering to PoA controls under a dual evaluation protocol.
