T2LSC-Bench: Benchmarking Localized Semantic Control in Text-to-Image Generation

Read the original on arXiv Computer Vision →

T2LSC-Bench is a new benchmark for evaluating localized semantic control in text-to-image generation, consisting of 50 seed subjects and 1,200 prompt cases per model, producing 7,160 images across six models. The benchmark measures Text-at-Anchor Accuracy, Semantic Subject Preservation, Semantic Leakage Rate, and Conditional Semantic Leakage Rate using a dual‑branch protocol that combines OCR‑VLM verification with structured VLM semantic judgments. Results show that while accurate text rendering remains high, semantic leakage can increase dramatically under stress‑test conditions, and anti‑leakage prompting can reduce leakage without harming rendering accuracy.

Visual Distribution Anchoring for Efficient Prompt Tuning

arXiv:2607. 28967v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Prompt tuning adapts vision--language models with few trainable parameters, but existing approaches trade off efficiency and adaptation: static textual prompts can overfit source classes, image-conditioned prompts add per-instance computation, and multimodal tuning modifies the visual branch.

Retrieval Heads Meet Vision: Uncovering How VLMs Locate and Extract Visual Information

The paper introduces Visual Retrieval Heads (VRHs), a small fraction of attention heads in vision‑language models that are causally responsible for grounding text descriptions to image regions. By recasting head‑scoring methods and evaluating across eleven VLMs and five benchmarks, the authors show that masking the top 20 VRHs can drop grounding accuracy by up to 80 percentage points, while random masking has little effect. VRHs generalize across various visual reference tasks, preserve output format while corrupting localization, and transfer causally across models sharing an LLM backbone.
