| Challenge: | Text-to-image (T2I) generation models have advanced in recent years, but effective interaction with these models is challenging for average users due to the need for specialized prompt engineering knowledge and the inability to perform multi-turn image generation. |
| Approach: | They propose to use off-the-shelf MLLMs and T2I models to build a multi-modal interactive dialogue system (MIDS) that can generate correct output modalities and coherence of output images. |
| Outcome: | The proposed pipeline can generate correct output modalities and coherent multi-modal outputs compared with other state-of-the-art models. |
