Layout-Conditioned Autoregressive Text-to-Image Generation via Structured Masking

Read the original on arXiv AI →

arXiv:2509. 12046v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Although autoregressive (AR) models have demonstrated remarkable success in image generation, extending these models to layout-conditioned generation remains challenging due to the sparse nature of layout conditions and the risk of feature entanglement.

Learning Interaction between Image and Layout Priors for Joint Image-Layout Generation in Design Templates

The paper introduces InterIL, a joint generative model that simultaneously produces a background image and a layout of foreground elements for graphic design templates, addressing the limitations of sequential generation approaches. InterIL connects pretrained image and layout diffusion backbones via a learnable communication module, freezing the backbones to preserve prior knowledge while training only the interaction module. The model also offers a test‑time guidance strategy, enabling users to impose preferences without retraining, and demonstrates superior image, layout, and harmonization quality compared to previous methods.

InterleaveThinker: Reinforcing Agentic Interleaved Generation

Recent image generators have demonstrated impressive photorealism and instruction-following capabilities in single-image generation and editing. However, constrained by their architectures, they cannot achieve interleaved generation (text-image sequence), which has crucial applications in visual narratives, guidance, and embodied manipulation.
