We present aMUSEd, an open-source, lightweight masked image model (MIM) for text-to-image generation based on MUSE. With 10 percent of MUSE's parameters, aMUSEd is focused on fast image generation. We believe MIM is under-explored compared to latent diffusion, the prevailing approach for text-to-image generation. Compared to latent diffusion, MIM requires fewer inference steps and is more interpretable. Additionally, MIM can be fine-tuned to learn additional styles with only a single image. We hope to encourage further exploration of MIM by demonstrating its effectiveness on large-scale text-to-image generation and releasing reproducible training code. We also release checkpoints for two models which directly produce images at 256x256 and 512x512 resolutions.

  1. Stay-Positive: A Case for Ignoring Real Image Features in Fake Image Detection

    cs.CV 2025-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Retraining only the last layer of a fake image detector with non-negative weights, so it ignores features linked to real images, improves robustness to post-processing and detection of inpainted images.
