ReGain: Restoring Subject Fidelity in Personalization on Synthetic Images

ReGain is a training‑free correction that improves subject fidelity in text‑to‑image diffusion models personalized with synthetic images. The authors show that fine‑tuning on synthetic images degrades fidelity due to inflated classifier‑free guidance, especially at high frequencies. ReGain measures this inflation per frequency band and scales it down during sampling, closing 51‑64% of the fidelity gap on Stable Diffusion v1.5 and improving performance on SDXL and SD 3.5 while preserving text alignment.

Abstract-LoRA: Unlocking Single-Image Style Transfer through Targeted U-Net Block Training

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.

MAST: Mask-Guided Attention Control for Training-Free Regional-Multi Style Transfer

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.
