The CHATS framework integrates human preference optimization during training with test-time sampling in text-to-image generation, leveraging separate models for preferred and dispreferred distributions. This approach achieves superior image quality and text-image alignment, performing well with only 7,459 high-quality preference pairs from the OIP dataset, demonstrating notable data efficiency.

Key insights

  • Unifying human preference optimization during training with test-time sampling, through separate models for preferred and dispreferred distributions, leads to improved text-to-image generation.
  • A proxy-prompt-based sampling strategy can efficiently integrate information from both preferred and dispreferred models during inference, enhancing quality and alignment.
  • High data efficiency can be achieved by focusing on smaller, high-quality preference datasets when optimizing models by independently modeling preferred and dispreferred distributions.
