Screen, Cache, and Match: A Training-Free Causality-Consistent Reference Frame Framework for Human Animation

Human animation aims to generate temporally coherent and visually consistent videos over long sequences, yet modeling long-range dependencies while preserving frame quality remains challenging. Inspired by the human ability to leverage past observations for interpreting ongoing actions, we propose FrameCache, a training-free, causality-consistent reference frame framework. FrameCache explicitly converts historical generation results into causal guidance through two complementary mechanisms. First, at the reference level, a novel Screen-Cache-Match (SCM) strategy constructs a dynamic, high-quality reference memory, ensuring motion-consistent appearance guidance to reduce identity drift. Second, at the generative level, a Trajectory-Aware Autoregressive Generation (TAAG) mechanism aligns denoising trajectories across adjacent video chunks. This is achieved through an overlap-aware latent propagation and a dual-domain fusion strategy that seamlessly blends low-frequency structural layouts with high-frequency textural details. Extensive experiments on standard benchmarks demonstrate that FrameCache consistently improves temporal coherence and visual stability while integrating seamlessly with diverse diffusion baselines. Code will be made publicly available.

A User-Friendly Framework for Generating Model-Preferred Prompts in Text-to-Image Synthesis

Well-designed prompts have demonstrated the potential to guide text-to-image models in generating amazing images. Although existing prompt engineering methods can provide high-level guidance, it is challenging for novice users to achieve the desired results by manually entering prompts due to a discrepancy between novice-user-input prompts and the model-preferred prompts. To bridge the distribution gap between user input behavior and model training datasets, we first construct a novel Coarse-Fine Granularity Prompts dataset (CFP) and propose a novel User-Friendly Fine-Grained Text Generation framework (UF-FGTG) for automated prompt optimization. For CFP, we construct a novel dataset for text-to-image tasks that combines coarse and fine-grained prompts to facilitate the development of automated prompt generation methods. For UF-FGTG, we propose a novel framework that automatically translates user-input prompts into model-preferred prompts. Specifically, we propose a prompt refiner that continually rewrites prompts to empower users to select results that align with their unique needs. Meanwhile, we integrate image-related loss functions from the text-to-image model into the training process of text generation to generate model-preferred prompts. Additionally, we propose an adaptive feature extraction module to ensure diversity in the generated results. Experiments demonstrate that our approach is capable of generating more visually appealing and diverse images than previous state-of-the-art methods, achieving an average improvement of 5% across six quality and aesthetic metrics.
