arXiv:2505. 16915v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: While recent Text-to-Image (T2I) models show impressive capabilities in synthesizing images from brief descriptions, they struggle with the long, detailed prompts required for professional applications.

The paper introduces a post‑training approach that enables a single inference process to transition from text reasoning to image synthesis, eliminating the need for explicit modality switching. Using the 14B BAGEL model, the authors demonstrate that targeted post‑training data and reward‑weighted training improve multimodal image generation across four independent T2I benchmarks. The study highlights the benefits of joint text‑image generation and strategic data selection for enhancing T2I performance.

Multimodal Language Models as Text-to-Image Model Evaluators presents MT2IE, a framework where a multimodal large language model generates evaluation prompts and scores images, achieving higher correlation with human judgment than prior metrics. MT2IE recovers official T2I model rankings using only 20 prompts—far fewer than traditional benchmarks—and adapts prompts to each model’s performance, maintaining informative scoring ranges. The approach demonstrates that dynamic, interactive evaluation can replace static benchmarks as T2I models improve.

TextAlign is a post‑training preference‑alignment framework that improves text rendering in large text‑to‑image generative models without changing the generator architecture. It uses a hierarchical vision‑language model to reward global, word, and glyph‑level accuracy, converting binary defect judgments into a scalar preference signal that can be optimized with GRPO or DPO. Experiments on FLUX.1‑dev and Z‑Image‑Turbo demonstrate higher OCR‑based text accuracy while preserving overall generation quality, outperforming several foundation and text‑rendering baselines.

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.

HyperErase introduces a hypernetwork-based framework for concept erasure in text-to-image models, replacing static adapters with prompt-conditioned parameter synthesis. The method maps textual descriptions to LoRA updates, eliminating per-prompt gradient optimization and manual merging. A decoupled rectification strategy further stabilizes and refines the synthesized adapters, yielding improved erasure effectiveness, image quality, and semantic alignment across diverse concepts.
