LINA: Learning INterventions Adaptively for Physical Alignment and Generalization in Diffusion Models
Diffusion models excel in image and video generation but struggle with physical alignment and following out-of-distribution (OOD) instructions. This paper introduces LINA, a novel framework that learns to predict and apply prompt-specific interventions in diffusion models. LINA uses a Causal Scene Graph (CSG) for diagnostic analysis and the Physical Alignment Probe (PAP) dataset to quantify failures. Key findings indicate that DMs struggle with multi-hop reasoning, disentangled representations for texture and physics exist in prompt embeddings, and visual causal structure emerges early in denoising. LINA applies targeted guidance in prompt and visual latent spaces and uses a causality-aware denoising schedule, achieving state-of-the-art performance on causal generation tasks and Winoground, without MLLM inference or retraining.
Causal AI & Generative Models
This paper addresses foundational challenges in generative AI by integrating causal reasoning to enhance physical alignment and out-of-distribution generalization. It moves beyond superficial correlations to model directional causality, a critical step towards more robust and reliable AI systems.

Introduces the Causal Scene Graph (CSG) as a novel representation that unifies causal dependencies and spatial layouts, providing a structured basis for diagnostic interventions in diffusion models. This allows for precise identification of how prompt elements translate into generated visual content and their underlying physical interactions. CSG helps pinpoint multi-hop reasoning failures and the entanglement of causal factors, which are key limitations of current DMs.
Develops the Physical Alignment Probe (PAP) dataset, a multi-modal corpus specifically designed to quantify DMs' physical alignment and out-of-distribution (OOD) instruction following. Comprising structured prompts, SOTA-generated images, and fine-grained segmentation masks, PAP enables quantitative evaluation and diagnostic interventions via CSG-guided masked inpainting. It reveals that DMs struggle with multi-hop reasoning for implicitly determined elements and that prompt embeddings contain disentangled representations for texture and physics.
Proposes the Adaptive Intervention Module (AIM), a lightweight component trained offline to predict prompt-specific intervention strengths. AIM leverages an MLLM-based automated search to identify optimal intervention parameters for 'hard cases' where baseline DMs fail. This module enables LINA to apply targeted guidance during the denoising process, enforcing causal consistency without requiring MLLM inference or retraining during online generation, thus achieving efficient and adaptive control.
Introduces a Causality-Aware Denoising Schedule that reallocates computational budget to the initial, high-noise denoising steps. Diagnostic analysis revealed that visual causal structure is disproportionately established during these early, computationally limited phases (steps 26-24 of a 28-step schedule). By prioritizing this 'structure formation' period, LINA ensures a robust causal layout before subsequent texture refinement, addressing a key limitation of DMs that learn elements concurrently and symmetrically.

LINA consistently outperforms all baselines in physical alignment and OOD instruction following.
Video Generation: 'A person is close to the water and in the sand'
Baseline diffusion models struggle with attribute leakage, incorrectly placing the person *in* the water. LINA enforces the correct causal structure, generating a temporally coherent narrative where the subject interacts with the sand while remaining adjacent to the water. This demonstrates LINA's effectiveness in adapting to the temporal domain.
Key Outcome: Improved temporal physical alignment from 29.5% (baseline) to 58.0% (LINA).
