Policy Optimized Text-to-Image Pipeline Design

Neural Information Processing Systems 

Text-to-image generation has evolved beyond single monolithic models to complex multi-component pipelines that combine various enhancement tools. While these pipelines significantly improve image quality, their effective design requires substantial expertise. Recent approaches automating this process through large language models (LLMs) have shown promise but suffer from two critical limitations: extensive computational requirements from generating images with hundreds of predefined pipelines, and poor generalization beyond memorized training examples. We introduce a novel reinforcement learning-based framework that addresses these inefficiencies.
