用多模态模型实现图文混合控制,生成更灵活的图像。
Multimodal Representation Alignment for Image Generation: Text-Image Interleaved Control Is Easier Than You Think

- 用QwenVL等多模态编码器替代纯文本编码器,统一处理图文信息。
- 在GenEval上得分0.69,性能媲美SD3.5和FLUX等顶尖模型。
- 适合需要复杂图文混控的生成任务,如跨图概念融合。
当前先进文本到图像生成领域正发展出整合强大文本编码器(如CLIP、T5)与扩散变换器主干的统一框架。尽管已有尝试通过边缘图、深度图等附加条件控制生成结果,但针对任意图文交错控制的完整框架仍不成熟,尤其在融合多张图像的概念或视觉元素时尤为明显。为弥补这一空白,我们初步实验发现大型多模态模型(LMMs)能提供有效的共享表示空间,使图像与文本对齐,可作为外部扩散模型的条件输入。基于此,我们提出Dream Engine:一种高效且统一的图文交错控制框架。以SD3.5等强大文本到图像模型为基础,将原仅支持文本的编码器替换为通用多模态信息编码器(如QwenVL)。采用两阶段训练策略,包括联合文本-图像对齐与多模态交错指令微调。实验表明该方法有效,在GenEval基准上取得0.69的整体得分,性能与当前顶尖模型(如SD3.5、FLUX)相当。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
The field of advanced text-to-image generation is witnessing the emergence of unified frameworks that integrate powerful text encoders, such as CLIP and T5, with Diffusion Transformer backbones. Although there have been efforts to control output images with additional conditions, like canny and depth map, a comprehensive framework for arbitrary text-image interleaved control is still lacking. This gap is especially evident when attempting to merge concepts or visual elements from multiple images in the generation process. To mitigate the gap, we conducted preliminary experiments showing that large multimodal models (LMMs) offer an effective shared representation space, where image and text can be well-aligned to serve as a condition for external diffusion models. Based on this discovery, we propose Dream Engine, an efficient and unified framework designed for arbitrary text-image interleaved control in image generation models. Building on powerful text-to-image models like SD3.5, we replace the original text-only encoders by incorporating versatile multimodal information encoders such as QwenVL. Our approach utilizes a two-stage training paradigm, consisting of joint text-image alignment and multimodal interleaved instruction tuning. Our experiments demonstrate that this training method is effective, achieving a 0.69 overall score on the GenEval benchmark, and matching the performance of state-of-the-art text-to-image models like SD3.5 and FLUX.
