We propose MaxFusion, a plug and play framework for multimodal generation using text to image diffusion models. (a) Multimodal generation. We address the problem of conflicting spatial conditioning for text to iamge models . (b) Saliency in variance maps. We discover that the variance maps of different feature layers expresses the strength og conditioning.

Contributions:

• We tackle the need for training with paired data for multi-task conditioning using diffusion models.
• We propose a novel variance-based feature merging strategy for diffusion models.
• Our method allows us to use combined information to influence the output, unlike individual models that are limited to a single condition.
• Unlike previous solutions, our approach is easily scalable and can be added on top of off-the-shelf models.
