Advances in Diffusion-Based Image Generation and Editing
TL;DR: Recent papers introduce diffusion frameworks like PixelSmile for fine-grained facial expression editing, Calibri for efficient transformer calibration, RealRestorer for real-world image restoration, and Macro for multi-reference generation, collectively...
Why now: The convergence of large-scale datasets (FFE, MacroData), improved benchmarks (FFE-Bench, RealIR-Bench, MacroBench), and algorithmic innovations in symmetric joint training, contrastive learning, and parameter-efficient calibration enables precise control over generative outputs while preserving...
PixelSmile achieves superior disentanglement of facial expressions via symmetric joint training and contrastive learning, enabling stable linear control through textual latent interpolation. Calibri demonstrates that a single learned scaling parameter per DiT block, optimized via evolutionary algorithm, can boost generative quality and cut inference steps without retraining. RealRestorer leverages a
