Semantic-aware Data Augmentation for Text-to-image Synthesis

Data augmentation has been recently leveraged as an effective regularizer in various vision-language deep neural networks. However, in text-to-image synthesis (T2Isyn), current augmentation wisdom still suffers from the semantic mismatch between augmented paired data. Even worse, semantic collapse may occur when generated images are less semantically constrained. In this paper, we develop a novel Semantic-aware Data Augmentation (SADA) framework dedicated to T2Isyn. In particular, we propose to augment texts in the semantic space via an Implicit Textual Semantic Preserving Augmentation ($ITA$), in conjunction with a specifically designed Image Semantic Regularization Loss ($L_r$) as Generated Image Semantic Conservation, to cope well with semantic mismatch and collapse. As one major contribution, we theoretically show that $ITA$ can certify better text-image consistency while $L_r$ regularizing the semantics of generated images would avoid semantic collapse and enhance image quality. Extensive experiments validate that SADA enhances text-image consistency and improves image quality significantly in T2Isyn models across various backbones. Especially, incorporating SADA during the tuning process of Stable Diffusion models also yields performance improvements.
