Interpreting Image Edit Instructions: Meta’s Emu Edit improves text-to-image generation with task classification.

The latest text-to-image generators can alter images in response to a text prompt, but their outputs often don’t accurately reflect the text. They do better if, in addition to a prompt, they’re told the general type of alteration they’re expected to make.
