StyleAR enables multimodal autoregressive models to perform style-aligned text-to-image generation by leveraging a novel binary data curation method and a customized architecture. The system demonstrates a balanced performance in adhering to text prompts (CLIP-T 0.2893) and maintaining style consistency (CLIP-I 0.7456), effectively addressing issues of content leakage observed in other approaches.

Key insights

  • Autoregressive models can be effectively trained for style-aligned generation using curated binary image-text data, circumventing the need for complex triplet datasets.
  • An optimal ratio of mixed raw and stylized data is crucial for robust style learning, preventing both low consistency and 'overfitting' that leads to content leakage.
  • Techniques like Gaussian noise injection in style tokens and SAM-integrated semantic exclusion are effective in decoupling style from content, improving prompt adherence and style fidelity.
