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.

Overpainting: Localized Context-aware Diffusion Image Editing

The paper introduces "overpainting," a localized, context-aware image editing technique that allows users to specify precise or loose editing regions via a trimap. The method adapts a pretrained diffusion model with joint attention and low‑rank adaptation, incorporating attention‑dropout to balance noise, source, and mask inputs. An automated pipeline generates training data by pairing images from language‑based editing models, curating them, and extracting trimaps, enabling the model to perform a wide range of editing tasks.

ContextAnyone: Context-Aware Diffusion for Character-Consistent Text-to-Video Generation

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.

AffineTok: Semantic Affine Consistency for Diffusion-Friendly Visual Tokenizer

arXiv:2608.23864v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Visual tokenizers increasingly inject semantic supervision into latent spaces to make downstream diffusion easier. Yet how these semantics should be or...
