Abstract

Text-to-image (T2I) models have achieved strong visual realism, but they still struggle when prompts require world knowledge. In this work, we study how to enhance T2I generation without retraining large-scale diffusion models. We investigate three strategies: encoder routing, prompt rewriting using a large language model, and best prompt selection through a feature fusion scoring scheme, based on Stable Diffusion 3.5-Large as our base model. The evaluation is conducted on the WISE benchmark, which is designed to measure the semantic understanding of T2I models via three categories Consistency, Realism, and Aesthetic quality. The results show that our proposed strategies can significantly improve the performance of Stable Diffusion 3.5-Large on the WISE benchmark, which enhances the semantic capability of T2I generation without retraining the model.
