PosBridge: Multi-View Positional Embedding Transplant for Identity-Aware Image Editing

Localized subject-driven image editing aims to seamlessly integrate user-specified objects into target scenes. As generative models continue to scale, training becomes increasingly costly in terms of memory and computation, highlighting the need for training-free and scalable editing frameworks. To this end, we propose PosBridge--an efficient and flexible framework for inserting custom objects. A key component of our method is positional embedding transplant, which guides the diffusion model to faithfully replicate the structural characteristics of reference objects. Meanwhile, we introduce the Corner Centered Layout, which concatenates reference images and the background image as input to the FLUX.1-Fill model. During progressive denoising, positional embedding transplant is applied to guide the noise distribution in the target region toward that of the reference object. In this way, Corner Centered Layout effectively directs the FLUX.1-Fill model to synthesize identity-consistent content at the desired location. Extensive experiments demonstrate that PosBridge outperforms mainstream baselines in structural consistency, appearance fidelity, and computational efficiency, showcasing its practical value and potential for broad adoption.

BRIDGE: Background Routing and Isolated Discrete Gating for Coarse-Mask Local Editing

Coarse-mask local image editing asks a model to modify a user-indicated region while preserving the surrounding scene. In practice, however, rough masks often become unintended shape priors: instead of serving as flexible edit support, the mask can pull the generated object toward its accidental boundary. We study this failure as mask-shape bias and frame the task through a Two-Zone Constraint, where the background should remain stable while the editable region should follow the instruction without being forced to inherit the mask contour. BRIDGE addresses this setting by keeping masks outside the DiT backbone for support construction and blending, avoiding DiT-internal mask injection and copied control branches. It uses BridgePath generation, where a Main Path preserves background context and a Subject Path generates editable content from independent noise. Motivated by a diagnostic Qwen-Image experiment showing that positional embeddings and attention connectivity regulate which image context visual tokens reuse, BRIDGE introduces a learnable Discrete Geometric Gate for token-level positional-embedding routing. This gate lets subject tokens borrow background-anchored coordinates near fusion regions or keep subject-centric coordinates for geometric freedom. We evaluate BRIDGE on BRIDGE-Bench, MagicBrush, and ICE-Bench. On BRIDGE-Bench, BRIDGE improves Local SigLIP2-T from 0.262 with FLUX.1-Fill and 0.390 with ACE++ to 0.503, with parallel gains in local DINO and DreamSim. Zero-shot results on MagicBrush and ICE-Bench further indicate competitive alignment and source preservation beyond the curated benchmark, while the added routing module remains compact at 13.31M parameters compared with ControlNet-style copied branches.

HOI-R1: Exploring the Potential of Multimodal Large Language Models for Human-Object Interaction Detection

Recent human-object interaction detection (HOID) methods highly require prior knowledge from vision-language models (VLMs) to enhance the interaction recognition capabilities. The training strategies and model architectures for connecting the knowledge from VLMs to the HOI instance representations from the object detector are challenging, and the whole framework is complex for further development or application. On the other hand, the inherent reasoning abilities of multimodal large language models (MLLMs) on human-object interaction detection are under-explored. Inspired by the recent success of training MLLMs with reinforcement learning (RL) methods, we propose HOI-R1 and first explore the potential of the language model on the HOID task without any additional detection modules. We introduce an HOI reasoning process and HOID reward functions to solve the HOID task by pure text. Experiments on HICO-DET across multiple open-source MLLMs, including the Qwen-VL family (Qwen2.5-VL and Qwen3-VL) and Rex-Omni, show consistent improvements. Especially, HOI-R1 boosts Qwen2.5-VL-3B 2$\times$ accuracy with great generalization ability. The source code is available at https://github.com/cjw2021/HOI-R1.
