ACEdit: Stable Multi-Turn Image Editing via Asymmetric Conditioning

Hugging Face Daily Papers Papers

Summary

ACEdit 提出一种结合自强制(Self-Forcing)训练、教师蒸馏与非对称条件化的方案,使多轮图像编辑在累积分布偏移下保持稳定,显著降低长序列编辑中的质量退化。

Image editing models produce impressive results for individual edits, but their quality often deteriorates over multiple editing turns. Each editing turn introduces small distribution shifts that accumulate over successive edits, creating a gap between the input distributions encountered during the editor's original training and multi-turn inference. We introduce a training scheme that makes multi-turn image editing stable under this accumulating distribution shift. A key is to force the editor to operate on its own outputs from previous editing turns during training, bringing the principle of Self-Forcing to image editing. The main challenge is that self-generated editing trajectories deviate from ground-truth trajectories, making direct supervision unreliable. We address this challenge through a distillation objective that leverages a teacher image editor to provide a reliable training signal when the model operates on its own previous outputs. We introduce an asymmetric conditioning scheme: while the student performs edits sequentially on its own outputs, the teacher remains anchored to the original clean image and receives a compound editing instruction. Experiments show substantially reduced degradation over long multi-turn sequences while maintaining editing quality and instruction adherence.

Abstract

Self-forcing training with teacher distillation and asymmetric conditioning stabilizes multi-turn image editing against accumulating distribution shifts.

Image editing models produce impressive results for individual edits, but their quality often deteriorates over multiple editing turns. Each editing turn introduces smalldistribution shifts that accumulate over successive edits, creating a gap between the input distributions encountered during the editor’s original training and multi-turn inference. We introduce a training scheme that makesmulti-turn image editingstable under this accumulatingdistribution shift. A key is to force the editor to operate on its own outputs from previous editing turns during training, bringing the principle ofSelf-Forcingto image editing. The main challenge is that self-generated editing trajectories deviate from ground-truth trajectories, making direct supervision unreliable. We address this challenge through adistillation objectivethat leverages a teacher image editor to provide a reliable training signal when the model operates on its own previous outputs. We introduce anasymmetric conditioningscheme: while the student performs edits sequentially on its own outputs, the teacher remains anchored to the original clean image and receives a compound editing instruction. Experiments show substantially reduced degradation over long multi-turn sequences while maintaining editing quality and instruction adherence.
