New SuRe framework mitigates semantic leakage in image stylization

Researchers have developed a new framework called SuRe to improve image-guided stylization by addressing semantic leakage. This method focuses on regulating the key-value coupling within the self-attention mechanisms of diffusion models. By disrupting and then progressively restoring this correspondence, SuRe aims to transfer style effectively without transferring unwanted semantic content from the style image. Experiments show SuRe enhances content similarity across various Stable Diffusion models, including SD1.5, SDXL, SD3, and FLUX.1-dev, while maintaining competitive style similarity. AI

IMPACT This research could lead to more accurate and controllable AI-powered image stylization tools.

    Transfer the Style, Not the Semantics: Mitigating Semantic Leakage in Image-Guided Stylization

    arXiv:2511.06365v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Image-guided zero-shot style transfer enables training-free stylization of arbitrary content images using a reference style. Despite recent progress, existing methods commonly rely on self-attention manipulation to inject style …
