Images Talk Back: Guiding MMDiTs by Suppressing Image-to-Text Feedback
Multimodal diffusion transformers (MMDiTs) allow the evolving image to update internal text representations through joint attention.
ProofPaper ↗
Key points
- These representations then guide subsequent image updates, raising a question: does this feedback help correct deviations from the prompt, or preserve them?
- We find that image-to-text (I2T) feedback can preserve the objects and attributes already represented in the evolving image, including errors.
- These findings motivate Semantic Feedback Guidance (SFG), which suppresses the influence of I2T feedback by guiding away from an auxiliary branch that strengthens this feedback and weakens text-to-image conditioning.
- Experiments across three image-generation backbones show gains in alignment and preference-model scores.
