Diversifying Long Prompt Image Generation through Structured Prompt Embedding Space Sampling

The paper investigates how long, richly detailed prompts cause modern text-to-image models to lose diversity, even when many visual aspects are unspecified. It introduces PromptMoG, a training‑free method that samples prompt embeddings from a Mixture‑of‑Gaussians distribution to restore diversity while preserving semantic fidelity. The authors also present LPD‑Bench, a benchmark for evaluating fidelity and diversity under long, semantically dense prompts, and demonstrate PromptMoG’s effectiveness on four large diffusion models.

Few Channels Draw The Whole Picture: Revealing Massive Activations in Diffusion Transformers

arXiv:2605. 13974v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Diffusion Transformers (DiTs) and related flow-based architectures are now among the strongest text-to-image generators, yet the internal mechanisms through which prompts shape image semantics remain poorly understood.

Representation Learning in Diffusion and Flow-based Model: An Application Aspect

The article surveys how diffusion and flow-based generative models learn rich visual representations and how these representations can be used to improve generation and other perception tasks. It introduces a three-tier framework that categorizes work into improving generative quality via representation learning, extracting representations for perception, and developing unified applications. The survey covers downstream tasks such as image classification, dense prediction, instance-level perception, and annotation-scarce scenarios, offering a taxonomy and highlighting future research directions.
