This research addresses a critical bottleneck in text-to-image generation where diffusion models fail to correctly separate multiple concepts due to early attention coupling. The proposed Rectify-then-Diffuse framework solves this by correcting initial concept allocation before the standard denoising process begins, achieving state-of-the-art compositional fidelity without requiring additional training.
Rectify Then Diffuse: Disentangling Concepts Before Denoising Trajectory Unfolds
arXiv:2608.03135v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Text-to-image diffusion models can generate individual concepts well, but they often omit or merge concepts incorrectly with multiple concepts. We trace these failures to an early coordination bottleneck: before denoising begins, prompt-conditioned attention may allocate different concepts to strongly overlapping spatial support, which can keep their attention coupled as denoising proceeds. This observation motivates treating compositional generation as a boundary-condition problem rather than repeatedly controlling the evolving trajectory. To this end, we propose Rectify-then-Diffuse (RTD), a training-free framework that rectifies the initial allocation once before standard denoising. Firstly, we propose Soft-Overlap Disentanglement (SOD), which converts normalized overlap between pilot concept maps into a differentiable and layout-agnostic separation objective. Secondly, we introduce Isotropic Gradient Rectification (IGR), which normalizes the SOD gradient and applies a bounded latent displacement with a consistent scale across prompts and initializations. Extensive experiments show that RTD achieves state-of-the-art compositional fidelity and robust gains. On the AE-Bench object pair subset, RTD improves BLIP-VQA by 45.8% and ImageReward by 19.6% over CO3 while running 2.3$\times$ faster.
