SAWNA: Space-Aware Text to Image Generation DESCRIPTION:Ryugo Morita (Hosei University, EQUES Inc.); Sho Kuno (The Uni versity of Tokyo, EQUES Inc.); Ryunosuke Tanaka (EQUES Inc.); Rongzhi Li ( The University of Tokyo, EQUES Inc.); and Hoang Dai Dinh and Issey Sukeda (EQUES Inc.)\n\nSAWNA tackles layout-sensitive text-to-image generation by treating user-specified empty regions as first-class constraints. Boundin g-box masks are blurred and injected as mean-shifted, inert noise into the frozen Stable Diffusion latent, suppressing synthesis inside reserved are as while preserving diversity and quality elsewhere. This simple training- free modification supports workflows that require precise layout fidelity, including advertising (e.g., space for logos or headlines), UI design (e. g., button placement), and animation pre-production (e.g., speech bubbles, subtitles, or motion overlays).\nExperiments show that SAWNA outperforms layout-aware baselines like GLIGEN and in-painting pipelines, both of whic h struggle to maintain truly empty regions without introducing artifacts o r incoherence. In contrast, SAWNA yields clean, editable space while produ cing semantically rich images across the remaining canvas.\nThis makes it especially suitable for design-critical applications where reserved region s are integral to downstream compositing or storytelling.\n\nRegistration Category: Full Conference, Experience\n\n END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
