StyleText: A Large-Scale Dataset and Benchmark for Stylized Scene Text Inpainting

Aleksandr Simonyan, Nipun Jindal

We present StyleText, a large-scale dataset and benchmark for localized scene-text inpainting with style preservation. StyleText contains 28,518 image-mask-prompt triplets grouped into 9,932 scene families, enabling controlled evaluation of text legibility and visual consistency under shared scene context. We construct the dataset with an automated pipeline that combines LLM prompt templating, Flux-based source generation with key-value (KV) cache injection, OCR-based semantic filtering, polygon mask extraction, and mask-conditioned FluxFill augmentation. We define a reproducible evaluation protocol using normalized OCR metrics (word accuracy and character error rate) and CLIP image-image similarity with explicit preprocessing. A FluxFill+LoRA baseline trained on StyleText improves OCR accuracy substantially over initialization while maintaining scene style consistency, establishing a strong reference point for future comparisons.

BreakGPT: Leveraging Large Language Models for Predicting Asset Price Surges

Aleksandr Simonyan

This paper introduces BreakGPT, a novel large language model (LLM) architecture adapted specifically for time series forecasting and the prediction of sharp upward movements in asset prices. By leveraging both the capabilities of LLMs and Transformer-based models, this study evaluates BreakGPT and other Transformer-based models for their ability to address the unique challenges posed by highly volatile financial markets. The primary contribution of this work lies in demonstrating the effectiveness of combining time series representation learning with LLM prediction frameworks. We showcase BreakGPT as a promising solution for financial forecasting with minimal training and as a strong competitor for capturing both local and global temporal dependencies.
