Diffusion-NPO: Negative Preference Optimization for Better Preference Aligned Generation of Diffusion Models

Diffusion models have made substantial advances in image generation, yet models trained on large, unfiltered datasets often yield outputs misaligned with human preferences. Numerous methods have been proposed to fine-tune pre-trained diffusion models, achieving notable improvements in aligning generated outputs with human preferences. However, we argue that existing preference alignment methods neglect the critical role of handling unconditional/negative-conditional outputs, leading to a diminished capacity to avoid generating undesirable outcomes. This oversight limits the efficacy of classifier-free guidance~(CFG), which relies on the contrast between conditional generation and unconditional/negative-conditional generation to optimize output quality. In response, we propose a straightforward but versatile effective approach that involves training a model specifically attuned to negative preferences. This method does not require new training strategies or datasets but rather involves minor modifications to existing techniques. Our approach integrates seamlessly with models such as SD1.5, SDXL, video diffusion models and models that have undergone preference optimization, consistently enhancing their alignment with human preferences.

FlameGS: Reconstruct flame light field via Gaussian Splatting

To address the time-consuming and computationally intensive issues of traditional ART algorithms for flame combustion diagnosis, inspired by flame simulation technology, we propose a novel representation method for flames. By modeling the luminous process of flames and utilizing 2D projection images for supervision, our experimental validation shows that this model achieves an average structural similarity index of 0.96 between actual images and predicted 2D projections, along with a Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio of 39.05. Additionally, it saves approximately 34 times the computation time and about 10 times the memory compared to traditional algorithms.
