ReNO: A Smarter Way to Enhance AI-Generated Images
MCML Research Insight - With Luca Eyring, Shyamgopal Karthik, Karsten Roth and Zeynep Akata
Despite their impressive capabilities, Text-to-Image (T2I) models frequently misinterpret detailed prompts, leading to errors in object positioning, attribute accuracy, and color fidelity. Traditional improvements rely on extensive dataset training, which is not only computationally expensive but also may not generalize well to unseen prompts. To …
