Compositional Text-to-Image Generation Via Region-aware Bimodal Direct Preference Optimization
About
Despite the rapid progress of text-to-image (T2I) models, generating images that accurately reflect complex compositional prompts (covering attribute bindings, object relationships, counting) still remains challenging. To address this, we propose BiDPO, a framework to enhance T2I model's capability of compositional text-to-image generation. We begin by introducing an carefully designed pipeline to construct a large-scale preference dataset, BiComp, with strictly quality control. Then, we extend Diffusion DPO to jointly optimize image and text preferences, which is shown to greatly effective in improving the models to follow complex text prompt in generation. To further enhance the models for fine-grained alignment, we employ a region-level guidance method to focus on regions relevant to compositional concepts. Experimental results demonstrate that our BiDPO substantially improves compositional fidelity, consistently outperforming prior methods across multiple benchmarks. Our approach highlights the potential of preference-based fine-tuning for complex text-to-image tasks, offering a flexible and scalable alternative to existing techniques.
