SEAL: Semantic-aware Single-image Sticker Personalization with a Large-scale Sticker-tag Dataset

The paper introduces SEAL, a plug‑and‑play module that enhances single‑image sticker personalization in diffusion models by adding a semantic‑guided spatial attention loss, a split‑merge token strategy, and structure‑aware layer restriction. SEAL integrates without altering the U‑Net backbone and addresses overfitting issues such as visual entanglement and structural rigidity. Alongside SEAL, the authors release StickerBench, a large sticker dataset with six attribute tags to enable systematic evaluation of identity preservation and contextual controllability.

RefDiT: Local Attribute Guidance in Reference-Based Image Generation

RefDiT is a new framework for reference-guided image generation that addresses the shortcomings of previous methods when handling complex scenes with multiple objects. It introduces local region guidance by decomposing a single identifier token into attribute-level signals, allowing the model to learn correspondences between tokens and specific regions of a reference image. The approach incorporates a low-rank adapter (LoRA) within a diffusion transformer (DiT) to adjust the inference prompt based on user-provided guidance context, thereby enabling more precise local attribute control.

MIEScore: Human-Aligned Evaluation for Multi-Source Image Editing

Recent advances in unified multimodal models have significantly improved text-guided image editing abilities. In particular, models such as Nano-Banana-Pro and GPT-Image-2 demonstrate emerging capabilities in multi-source image editing (MIE), including tasks such as object synthesis, person-background composition, and cross-image style fusion.
