VAGS: Velocity Adaptive Guidance Scale for Image Editing and Generation
The article introduces the Velocity Adaptive Guidance Scale (VAGS), a new method for image editing and generation. VAGS improves upon traditional classifier-free guidance by adapting the guidance scale based on the dynamics of the model. This approach enhances structural fidelity and generation quality without requiring fine-tuning or additional networks.
- ▪VAGS is a training-free method that adjusts guidance strength based on the alignment of velocity fields.
- ▪The method shows consistent improvements over fixed classifier-free guidance and other training-free variants.
- ▪VAGS can be applied to both image editing and generation tasks, demonstrating versatility in its application.
