Researchers have investigated the adaLN-Zero conditioning mechanism within Diffusion Transformers (DiTs), a prominent architecture for image generation. Their analysis revealed that zero-initialization is the most significant factor contributing to adaLN-Zero's superior performance over adaLN. Based on these findings, they propose an analysis-guided initialization strategy called adaLN-Gaussian, which enhances optimization efficiency, and an improved conditioning mechanism named SE-adaLN-Zero, inspired by SE-like structures. Both methods have demonstrated effectiveness and generalization across various datasets, including ImageNet1K, for both class-to-image and text-to-image generation tasks. AI
