Abstract:We present a framework for high-fidelity product image recontextualization using text-to-image diffusion models and a novel data augmentation pipeline. This pipeline leverages image-to-video diffusion, in/outpainting & negatives to create synthetic training data, addressing limitations of real-world data collection for this task. Our method improves the quality and diversity of generated images by disentangling product representations and enhancing the model's understanding of product characteristics. Evaluation on the ABO dataset and a private product dataset, using automated metrics and human assessment, demonstrates the effectiveness of our framework in generating realistic and compelling product visualizations, with implications for applications such as e-commerce and virtual product showcasing.
Abstract:Fast-developing fields such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) often outpace the efforts of encyclopedic sources such as Wikipedia, which either do not completely cover recently-introduced topics or lack such content entirely. As a result, methods for automatically producing content are valuable tools to address this information overload. We show that recent advances in pretrained language modeling can be combined for a two-stage extractive and abstractive approach for Wikipedia lead paragraph generation. We extend this approach to generate longer Wikipedia-style summaries with sections and examine how such methods struggle in this application through detailed studies with 100 reference human-collected surveys. This is the first study on utilizing web resources for long Wikipedia-style summaries to the best of our knowledge.
