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.
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.

ContextAnyone is a context‑aware diffusion framework that treats a reference image as an explicitly preserved appearance anchor rather than a simple conditioning signal. By jointly reconstructing the reference image and generating the target video within a shared diffusion transformer, it provides direct supervision for maintaining identity and fine‑grained appearance throughout denoising. The method introduces asymmetric information flow and Gap‑RoPE positional representations to keep the reference stable while allowing selective access by video tokens, and demonstrates improved identity and appearance consistency on an OpenVid‑HD benchmark.

Abstract‑LoRA introduces a lightweight LoRA training approach that targets specific U‑Net blocks in diffusion models to improve single‑image style transfer. By refining block selection, adding more blocks, and using clustering‑based style abstraction, it better disentangles and balances style and content compared to prior methods like B‑LoRA. Experiments show that the method produces more harmonious artistic images while quantitatively preserving both style and content.

Artistic image synthesis aims to recreate the expressive visual identity of a target artist, yet existing methods often fail to capture an artist's global style. Conventional style transfer methods transfer the style of one or a few reference artworks to a content image in a One-to-One manner, making them effective for artwork-level stylization but limited in representing the broader stylistic distribution of an artist.
The paper introduces Chameleon, a two‑stage training framework for cross‑domain image compositing that separates style and content representations. It first trains a ChameleonEncoder using Joint Hard Contrastive Learning to disentangle style and content, then applies Spatio‑Temporal Attention Gating within a diffusion transformer to stylize the foreground while preserving its identity. The authors also release ChameleonDataset, the first large‑scale training set for cross‑domain compositing, and demonstrate that Chameleon outperforms existing in‑domain, cross‑domain, and commercial models in both plausibility and stylistic fidelity.

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.
