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.

Unified Text-Image Generation with Weakness-Targeted Post-Training

The paper introduces a post‑training approach that enables a single inference process to transition from text reasoning to image synthesis, eliminating the need for explicit modality switching. Using the 14B BAGEL model, the authors demonstrate that targeted post‑training data and reward‑weighted training improve multimodal image generation across four independent T2I benchmarks. The study highlights the benefits of joint text‑image generation and strategic data selection for enhancing T2I performance.
