Tiny-Engram: Trigger-Indexed Concept Tables for Generative Vision
The paper introduces Tiny-Engram, a method for enhancing generative vision models by using trigger-indexed concept tables. This approach allows for better control over the retrieval of visual memories within frozen image and video generators. The results indicate that this method can improve modular visual personalization, particularly in image generation, while highlighting the need for further development in video generation.
- ▪Tiny-Engram provides an explicit lexical address and activation boundary for visual memories in generative models.
- ▪The method uses small sets of memory entries indexed by n-gram matches to modulate text-encoder hidden states.
- ▪Evaluation shows that while image generation benefits significantly, video generation still requires improvements for identity persistence.
