UMO is a academic project space demo (based on OmniGen2) for our paper:
UMO: Scaling Multi-Identity Consistency for Image Customization via Matching Reward

it is a Unified Multi-identity Optimization framework, designed to maintain high-fidelity identity preservation and alleviate identity confusion with scalability.

Here is the abstract of our paper:

Recent advancements in image customization exhibit a wide range of application prospects due to stronger customization capabilities. However, since we humans are more sensitive to faces, a significant challenge remains in preserving consistent identity while avoiding identity confusion with multi-reference images, limiting the identity scalability of customization models. To address this, we present UMO, a Unified Multi-identity Optimization framework, designed to maintain high-fidelity identity preservation and alleviate identity confusion with scalability. With "multi-to-multi matching" paradigm, UMO reformulates multi-identity generation as a global assignment optimization problem and unleashes multi-identity consistency for existing image customization methods generally through reinforcement learning on diffusion models. To facilitate the training of UMO, we develop a scalable customization dataset with multi-reference images, consisting of both synthesised and real parts. Additionally, we propose a new metric to measure identity confusion. Extensive experiments demonstrate that UMO not only improves identity consistency significantly, but also reduces identity confusion on several image customization methods, setting a new state-of-the-art among open-source methods along the dimension of identity preserving.

Could someone please grant GPU and storage for our demo in this space? Thank you so much for your support!

Hi @cb1cyf , we've assigned ZeroGPU to this Space. Please check the compatibility and usage sections of this page so your Space can run on ZeroGPU.
If you can, we ask that you upgrade to Enterprise to enjoy higher ZeroGPU quota and other features like Dev Mode, Private Storage, and more: hf.co/enterprise

Regarding the storage, each Space has 50GB of ephemeral storage, so persistent storage is usually not needed. We haven't allocated it for now, but let us know if there's a specific reason your Space needs it.
