MAST (Mask‑Guided Attention Control for Training‑Free Regional‑Multi Style Transfer) is a framework that enables diffusion models to apply multiple reference styles to user‑specified regions of a content image without any training or optimization. It introduces logit‑level attention mass allocation, sharpness‑aware temperature scaling, and discrepancy‑aware detail injection to address mass allocation, selectivity, and detail loss problems in regional‑multi style transfer. Experiments with two to five styles show that MAST outperforms baselines in ArtFID, FID, and R‑FID, achieving high regional style fidelity, content preservation, and scalability.

Reference-based diffusion stylization requires separating target geometry from transferable appearance. Existing tuning-based methods often rely on aligned content-style-target triplets or auxiliary visual encoders, which increases data cost and can transfer unintended scene structure from the style reference.

Recent diffusion editors perform diverse instruction-based edits while conditioning on the source image at every denoising step. Yet persistent source-image conditioning can limit how fully an edit is executed and how natural the result appears, especially when the target scene diverges substantially from the input.

Recent advances in diffusion models have shown impressive performance in controllable image generation and dense prediction tasks. However, existing approaches typically treat diffusion-based controllable generation and dense prediction as separate tasks, overlooking the potential benefits of jointly modeling the heterogeneous distributions.
LociArt introduces a unified framework for free‑style local video stylization, allowing precise specification of where to stylize and which style to apply while preserving non‑target content. The core method, GRNStyle, builds on Generative Refinement Networks and uses a polar style‑aware mask to embed style identities as equal‑norm directions within selected regions. An automated pipeline generates paired supervision, leading to the LociArt‑100K dataset and benchmark, which evaluate regional style quality, non‑target preservation, and temporal consistency, and experiments show GRNStyle outperforms existing methods in these aspects.

The paper introduces Motion Style Slider, a framework that enables continuous, endpoint‑supervised control of style intensity in human motion diffusion. By constructing a style direction in a learned motion‑style embedding space and conditioning diffusion generation with a scalar intensity, the method achieves smooth, monotonic style scaling without needing intermediate‑intensity ground truth. The approach is compatible with pretrained diffusion backbones, supports heterogeneous style datasets, and is evaluated on controllability, interpolation/extrapolation, content preservation, and motion realism.
