Crafting Your Evolving Dreams: Concept-Incremental Versatile Customization

Custom diffusion models (CDMs) have garnered significant interest owing to their remarkable capacity for generating personalized concepts. However, the majority of CDMs unrealistically presume that the user's collection of personalized concepts is static and incapable of incremental growth over time. Furthermore, they exhibit significant catastrophic forgetting and concept neglect of previously learned concepts when incrementally learning a sequence of new ones. To resolve the above challenges, we develop a novel Continually Customizable Diffusion Model (CCDM), enabling users to perform concept-incremental versatile customization. Specifically, we design an attribute-decoupled LoRA (AD-LoRA) module and a relevance-guided AD-LoRA aggregation strategy to mitigate catastrophic forgetting. They can preserve concept-specific attributes of each task and leverage beneficial inter-task correlations to enhance the continual learning of new customization tasks. Additionally, to address the challenge of concept neglect, we propose a controllable regional context synthesis strategy that performs multi-concept composition in alignment with user-provided conditions. This strategy enhances the overall consistency in multi-concept synthesis by guaranteeing semantic independence between user-defined regions and their smooth boundary transitions. Experiments show our CCDM exhibits significant improvements over baseline methods.
