TextSculptor: Training and Benchmarking Scene Text Editing

Yiheng Lin, Siyu Jiao, Xiaohan Lan et al.

Recent advances in Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) and diffusion-based generative models have substantially improved prompt-driven image editing. However, scene text editing remains challenging, as it requires models to precisely modify textual content while preserving visual realism and non-target regions. Current open-source models still lag behind proprietary systems, largely due to the scarcity of high-quality training data and the lack of standardized benchmarks tailored to text editing. To address these challenges, we present TextSculptor, a comprehensive framework for data construction and evaluation of scene text editing. We first develop an automated data construction pipeline that combines text-aware image synthesis with programmatic text rendering and compositing. Based on this pipeline, we build TextSculpt-Data, a large-scale dataset containing 3.2M training samples, including 1.2M OCR-verified text-to-image samples and 2M paired text editing samples with naturally aligned source-target images and strong background consistency. We further introduce TextSculpt-Bench, a benchmark covering four fundamental text editing tasks: text addition, text replacement, text removal, and hybrid editing. To support reliable evaluation, we design a tailored protocol that measures text accuracy, visual quality, and background preservation through OCR-based text alignment, multimodal judgment, and background-region similarity. Extensive experiments show that TextSculptor improves open-source text editing performance and narrows the gap to proprietary models. The data and benchmark are available at https://github.com/linyiheng123/TextSculptor.

From Large Angles to Consistent Faces: Identity-Preserving Video Generation via Mixture of Facial Experts

Yuji Wang, Moran Li, Xiaobin Hu et al.

Current video generation models struggle with identity preservation under large facial angles, primarily facing two challenges: the difficulty in exploring an effective mechanism to integrate identity features into DiT structure, and the lack of targeted coverage of large facial angles in existing open-source video datasets. To address these, we present two key innovations. First, we introduce a Mixture of Facial Experts (MoFE) that dynamically combines complementary cues from three specialized experts, each designed to capture distinct but mutually reinforcing aspects of facial attributes. The identity expert captures cross-pose identity-sensitive features, the semantic expert extracts high-level visual semantxics, and the detail expert preserves pixel-level features (e.g., skin texture, color gradients). Furthermore, to mitigate dataset limitations, we have tailored a data processing pipeline centered on two key aspects: Face Constraints and Identity Consistency. Face Constraints ensure facial angle diversity and a high proportion of facial regions, while Identity Consistency preserves coherent person-specific features across temporal sequences, collectively addressing the scarcity of large facial angles and identity-stable training data in existing datasets. Leveraging this pipeline, we have curated and refined a Large Face Angles (LFA) Dataset from existing open-source human video datasets, comprising 460K video clips with annotated facial angles. Experimental results on the LFA benchmark demonstrate that our method, empowered by the LFA dataset, significantly outperforms prior SOTA methods in face similarity, face FID, and CLIP semantic alignment. The code and dataset will be made publicly available at https://github.com/rain152/LFA-Video-Generation.
