Bridging the intent-model gap for T2I generation
Adaptive Prompt Elicitation for Text-to-Image Generation
Aligning text-to-image generation with user intent remains challenging. Our ADAPTIVE PROMPT ELICITATION (APE) technique adaptively asks visual queries to help users refine prompts without extensive writing, achieving stronger alignment and efficiency.
Executive Impact: Enhanced T2I Alignment & Efficiency
APE delivers measurable improvements in prompt optimization and user experience by leveraging an information-theoretic framework and visual queries.

| Metric | Unoptimized | APO | In-Context | APE (Ours) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Image-Image Similarity (DINOv2) | 0.471 | 0.513 | 0.596 | 0.613 |
| Image-Image Similarity (DreamSim) | 0.554 | 0.557 | 0.611 | 0.621 |
| Text-Text Similarity (E5) | 0.888 | 0.886 | 0.903 | 0.901 |
| Text-Image Similarity (VQAScore) | 0.675 | 0.675 | 0.674 | 0.678 |
APE consistently achieves stronger alignment on IDEA-Bench and DesignBench compared to baseline approaches, particularly in complex creative tasks.

User Journey: From Ambiguous Intent to Aligned Output
A user-defined interior design task illustrates APE's progressive elicitation. Starting from a concise prompt, APE refines the design through visual queries over six generations.
- Initial Prompt: 'A large bedroom with open spaces, and that includes a fire place, four-poster bed, big windows and lots of natural light.'
- APE Interaction: Visual queries progressively refined design elements: (I2) sky, mountains, water; (I3) vegetation, foreground; (I4-I6) color palette, atmospheric conditions, water features, vegetation details, glacier appearance.
- Final Prompt (160 words): 'A detailed painting of New Zealand mountains featuring a mix of sharp snow-capped peaks and gentle slopes, with a glacier base partially covered in snow...' (Figure 13)
- Outcome: 8x more detailed prompt, achieved in only 6 generation rounds. Users reported discovering preferences they hadn't initially considered.
This case study exemplifies how APE facilitates structured intent formation and preference discovery, transforming vague ideas into precise, aligned outputs.
