Prevailing image-translation frameworks mostly seek to process images via the end-to-end style, which has achieved convincing results. Nonetheless, these methods lack interpretability and are not scalable on different image-translation tasks (e.g., style transfer, HDR, etc.). In this paper, we propose an interpretable knowledge-based image-translation framework, which realizes the image-translation through knowledge retrieval and transfer. In details, the framework constructs a plug-and-play and model-agnostic general purpose knowledge library, remembering task-specific styles, tones, texture patterns, etc. Furthermore, we present a fast ANN searching approach, Bandpass Hierarchical K-Means (BHKM), to cope with the difficulty of searching in the enormous knowledge library. Extensive experiments well demonstrate the effectiveness and feasibility of our framework in different image-translation tasks. In particular, backtracking experiments verify the interpretability of our method. Our code soon will be available at https://github.com/AceSix/Knowledge_Transfer.

We present DreamPoster, a Text-to-Image generation framework that intelligently synthesizes high-quality posters from user-provided images and text prompts while maintaining content fidelity and supporting flexible resolution and layout outputs. Specifically, DreamPoster is built upon our T2I model, Seedream3.0 to uniformly process different poster generating types. For dataset construction, we propose a systematic data annotation pipeline that precisely annotates textual content and typographic hierarchy information within poster images, while employing comprehensive methodologies to construct paired datasets comprising source materials (e.g., raw graphics/text) and their corresponding final poster outputs. Additionally, we implement a progressive training strategy that enables the model to hierarchically acquire multi-task generation capabilities while maintaining high-quality generation. Evaluations on our testing benchmarks demonstrate DreamPoster's superiority over existing methods, achieving a high usability rate of 88.55\%, compared to GPT-4o (47.56\%) and SeedEdit3.0 (25.96\%). DreamPoster will be online in Jimeng and other Bytedance Apps.

Sentence compression is an important problem in natural language processing. In this paper, we firstly establish a new sentence compression model based on the probability model and the parse tree model. Our sentence compression model is equivalent to an integer linear program (ILP) which can both guarantee the syntax correctness of the compression and save the main meaning. We propose using a DC (Difference of convex) programming approach (DCA) for finding local optimal solution of our model. Combing DCA with a parallel-branch-and-bound framework, we can find global optimal solution. Numerical results demonstrate the good quality of our sentence compression model and the excellent performance of our proposed solution algorithm.
