Recent text-to-image models such as DALLE-3 excel at following diverse prompts yet remain blind to individual aesthetic preferences. We study personalized image generation, where models must align outputs with a user's implicit visual preferences based on a few historically preferred images and a short prompt.
arXiv:2601. 22276v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: As Text-to-Image (T2I) diffusion models are increasingly used in real-world creative workflows, a principled framework for valuing contributors who provide a collection of data is essential for fair compensation and sustainable data marketplaces.

CogCanvas is a new benchmark for multi-subject reference-based image generation, featuring 1,952 curated reference images of 100 celebrities, 115 objects/fashion items, and 29 real-world backgrounds. It generates 1,361 compositional prompts with 2–5 people, using a pipeline that includes DINOv2 deduplication, aesthetic filtering, and automated graph derivation for interaction and positioning. The benchmark evaluates three tasks—reference-based multi-human-object generation, text-to-image compositional generation, and reference retrieval—under a six-axis protocol, and introduces BG‑Sim and Attr‑VQA metrics to assess background fidelity and attribute binding.

Generating and editing a person's face demands high precision, as even minor modifications can significantly alter a subject's perceived identity. Current personalization and editing methods built on general-purpose text-to-image models, however, often lack the precision required for fine-grained facial edits.
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.
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.

Personalized language-model assistants are often evaluated through a memory lens: can a model recall preferences users have explicitly stated in dialogue? More comprehensive personalization demands a harder capability -- inferring what users care about from the multimodal traces they naturally leave behind.
