AcFlow: Controlling Text-to-Image Diffusion Transformers via Learned Conditional Activation Flow

Read the original on arXiv Computer Vision →

AcFlow introduces an inference‑time controller for text‑to‑image diffusion transformers that transports intermediate layer activations through a learned, concept‑conditioned velocity field while keeping the base model frozen. The method allows fine‑grained style intensity control and suppression of unwanted concepts, achieving superior style–content trade‑offs compared to baselines and generalizing to unseen concepts without per‑concept fitting. Experiments demonstrate improved style alignment and qualitative suppression of diverse concepts where direct prompting fails.

CARE: Condition-Aware Representation Regularization for Diffusion Models

The paper introduces CARE, a lightweight, plug‑and‑play regularization framework for diffusion models that dynamically adjusts feature distributions based on condition similarity. By leveraging built‑in conditioning signals such as labels or text prompts, CARE promotes tighter feature clusters for similar conditions without requiring explicit alignment losses or external supervision. Empirical results show consistent improvements in visual fidelity and convergence stability, achieving significant FID reductions and speed‑ups on ImageNet and text‑to‑image tasks, and it can be combined with existing regularization methods for further gains.
