arXiv:2607. 14580v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We present a novel system that integrates negative prompt optimization via a fine-tuned sequence-to-sequence LLM and latent-space classifier guidance to improve the quality of images generated by Stable Diffusion.

arXiv:2605. 31162v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Unconditional diffusion models offer powerful generative priors, yet steering them toward aesthetically enhanced outputs remains largely unexplored.

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.
arXiv:2506. 14753v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Diffusion models are well known for their ability to generate a high-fidelity image for an input prompt through an iterative denoising process.

arXiv:2602. 20360v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Flow-based generative methods offer a simple and effective framework for high-fidelity generation, yet pretrained flow models are rarely used in their vanilla conditional form: in image generation, samples without guidance often appear diffuse and lack fine-grained detail.

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.
arXiv:2608. 14172v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Text-to-image diffusion models have two major drawbacks that severely limit their practical utility: (1) standard models lack an intrinsic mechanism for continuous, concept-specific guidance (e.

Dataset distillation compresses a large training set into a compact synthetic set while retaining its downstream utility. Most existing methods target randomly initialized networks, whereas modern vision systems often adapt frozen pretrained encoders with lightweight modules.
