Register tokens improve pixel-space Diffusion Transformers, research finds

Researchers have investigated the utility of register tokens in Diffusion Transformers (DiTs), drawing parallels to their effectiveness in Vision Transformers (ViTs). While ViTs benefit from register tokens by mitigating high-norm patch-token outliers, DiTs do not exhibit these outliers but still show improvement with registers. The study found that register tokens are more beneficial in pixel-space DiTs compared to latent-space DiTs, leading to cleaner feature maps at higher noise levels. This suggests that recent pixel-space DiT architectures may already incorporate similar mechanisms, and the proposed Register Guidance technique further enhances visual structure and coherence by amplifying register token contributions.

    Registers Matter for Pixel-Space Diffusion Transformers

    Vision Transformers (ViTs) are known to exhibit high-norm patch-token outliers that degrade feature map quality, a problem effectively mitigated by register tokens. As diffusion models increasingly adopt transformer architectures and move toward pixel-space training, they become …
