TextMaster: Universal Controllable Text Edit

In image editing tasks, high-quality text editing capabilities can significantly reduce human and material resource costs. Current methods rely heavily on training data based on OCR text segment detection, where the text is tightly aligned with the mask area. This reliance creates a strong dependency on the mask area and lacks modules for adjusting text spacing and size in various scenarios. When the amount of text to be edited does not match the modification area or when the mask area is too large, significant issues may arise. Furthermore, no existing methods have explored controllable style transfer for text editing.To address these challenges, we propose TextMaster, a solution capable of accurately editing text with high realism and proper layout in any scenario and image area. Our approach employs adaptive standard letter spacing as guidance during training and uses adaptive mask boosting to prevent the leakage of text position and size information. We also utilize an attention mechanism to calculate the bounding box regression loss for each character, making text layout methods learnable across different scenarios. By injecting high-resolution standard font information and applying perceptual loss in the text editing area, we further enhance text rendering accuracy and fidelity. Additionally, we achieve style consistency between the modified and target text through a novel style injection method. Extensive qualitative and quantitative evaluations demonstrate that our method outperforms all existing approaches.

AnyFit: Controllable Virtual Try-on for Any Combination of Attire Across Any Scenario

While image-based virtual try-on has made significant strides, emerging approaches still fall short of delivering high-fidelity and robust fitting images across various scenarios, as their models suffer from issues of ill-fitted garment styles and quality degrading during the training process, not to mention the lack of support for various combinations of attire. Therefore, we first propose a lightweight, scalable, operator known as Hydra Block for attire combinations. This is achieved through a parallel attention mechanism that facilitates the feature injection of multiple garments from conditionally encoded branches into the main network. Secondly, to significantly enhance the model's robustness and expressiveness in real-world scenarios, we evolve its potential across diverse settings by synthesizing the residuals of multiple models, as well as implementing a mask region boost strategy to overcome the instability caused by information leakage in existing models. Equipped with the above design, AnyFit surpasses all baselines on high-resolution benchmarks and real-world data by a large gap, excelling in producing well-fitting garments replete with photorealistic and rich details. Furthermore, AnyFit's impressive performance on high-fidelity virtual try-ons in any scenario from any image, paves a new path for future research within the fashion community.

Conifer: Improving Complex Constrained Instruction-Following Ability of Large Language Models

The ability of large language models (LLMs) to follow instructions is crucial to real-world applications. Despite recent advances, several studies have highlighted that LLMs struggle when faced with challenging instructions, especially those that include complex constraints, hindering their effectiveness in various tasks. To address this challenge, we introduce Conifer, a novel instruction tuning dataset, designed to enhance LLMs to follow multi-level instructions with complex constraints. Utilizing GPT-4, we curate the dataset by a series of LLM-driven refinement processes to ensure high quality. We also propose a progressive learning scheme that emphasizes an easy-to-hard progression, and learning from process feedback. Models trained with Conifer exhibit remarkable improvements in instruction-following abilities, especially for instructions with complex constraints. On several instruction-following benchmarks, our 7B model outperforms the state-of-the-art open-source 7B models, even exceeds the performance of models 10 times larger on certain metrics. All the code and Conifer dataset are available at https://www.github.com/ConiferLM/Conifer.
