🤖 AI Summary
This study addresses the challenge of unifying e-commerce poster generation and precise editing by proposing PosterText, a framework that treats text blocks as atomic units to establish a unified generative-editing paradigm. The model is trained via a four-stage curriculum learning strategy comprising text rendering pre-training, instruction tuning, preference alignment, and spatially-guided self-distillation. Accompanied by a newly constructed large-scale dataset and benchmark, extensive experiments demonstrate that PosterText achieves state-of-the-art performance in poster generation, text block manipulation, and style control. These results effectively validate the proposed unified paradigm’s superiority in simultaneously ensuring high generation quality and editing flexibility, offering a robust solution for complex visual design tasks.
📝 Abstract
Automated e-commerce poster design requires both high-quality poster generation and flexible editing of existing designs. However, most existing methods either target end-to-end poster generation or follow multi-stage design pipelines, with limited capability for flexible and precise editing of existing posters. To enable unified generation and editing of e-commerce posters, we introduce Text Patch Generation and Editing, a unified task formulation that treats text patches as atomic units and covers four operations: poster generation, patch addition, patch deletion, and patch modification, with optional reference-guided style control. Based on this, we propose PosterText, a unified model trained with a four-stage curriculum, including text rendering pretraining, instruction-following training, reinforcement learning for preference alignment, and spatial guidance self-distillation for execution refinement. We further construct a large-scale dataset with patch-level annotations and a comprehensive benchmark for evaluation. Extensive experiments demonstrate that PosterText achieves competitive performance against existing generation and editing approaches, validating the effectiveness of the proposed framework.
