The author’s method utilizes existing modulation mechanisms in DiT models to extrac concept-specific information from user-provided images. A pre-trained text-to-image DiT model processes both image and text tokens through modulation, attention, and feed-forward modules. The focus is on the modulation block, where tokens are modulated via a vector derived from a pooled text embedding. The […]
