MLLM-Guided Semantic Correction for Text-to-Video Generation

In recent years, training-free video generation has progressed remarkably. However, when handling complex textual instructions, existing methods still suffer from semantic ambiguity, incorrect concept binding, and cross-frame inconsistency. To address these issues, we propose KGEdit, a structured semantic control framework for text-to-video (T2V) diffusion models. Specifically, we first construct an ambiguity-aware knowledge graph (AAKG) to disentangle and disambiguate the input prompt, converting it into four types of structured semantics: identity, relation, attribute, and negative constraints. We then design a structured semantic injection module (SSIM) to inject these semantic signals into key layers of the diffusion Transformer, enabling fine-grained semantic control. In addition, we introduce a temporal-aware semantic control (TASC) module that dynamically schedules semantic objectives according to the stage-wise characteristics of the denoising process, further improving semantic alignment and temporal consistency. Experiments show that KGEdit outperforms existing methods in editing precision and temporal stability, while offering higher efficiency and controllability in text-driven interaction scenarios.

Diffusion Transformers (DiTs) have become the dominant paradigm for high-fidelity video generation, yet their ability to perform high-level semantic planning remains limited. While hybrid architectures integrating MLLMs with diffusion backbones have shown strong advantages in image synthesis, such designs remain underexplored in video generation, where existing approaches often treat MLLMs primarily as frozen feature encoders rather than semantic generators. To fill this gap, we systematically study how an MLLM should be integrated with a DiT for video generation by answering three questions: what intermediate representation should bridge the MLLM and DiT, how the MLLM should generate it, and how the DiT should incorporate it during diffusion rendering. Our analysis reveals three key findings: (1) discrete semantic visual tokens produced by an EMA-based tokenizer provide a stable and expressive interface, (2) autoregressive causal modeling is effective for generating these tokens, and (3) explicit visual-token conditioning is more effective than prompt refinement or latent bridging. Based on these findings, we propose BiVidGen, a hybrid framework where an MLLM first generates semantic visual tokens and a DiT renders videos conditioned on both text and these tokens via multi-layer cross-attention. Extensive experiments show that BiVidGen improves semantic alignment and temporal coherence over a fine-tuned DiT baseline, achieving stronger performance on VBench-Long. These results demonstrate that explicit MLLM-based visual planning provides an effective intermediate interface for text-to-video generation beyond text-only conditioning.

Autoregressive visual models (AVMs) based on next-scale prediction have emerged as a prominent paradigm for image and video synthesis. However, decomposing the generation process into discrete scales with varying granularities in AVM makes semantic errors difficult to identify and correct, thereby undermining the quality of the final output. Prior efforts to enhance AVM can be categorized into training-based and training-free approaches. Although training-based efforts to enhance AVM generation quality come at substantial computational cost, existing training-free methods neglect intermediate generation states, leaving semantic errors undiagnosed and allowing them to accumulate into the final output. In this paper, we focus on training-free paradigms and propose Gazer, a framework that integrates multimodal large language model feedback into the AVM sampling loop for in-generation semantic correction. Concretely, Gazer operates via two cooperating stages: the Reflective Diagnosis stage diagnoses semantic errors from intermediate states, while the Semantic Correction stage rewinds and rectifies the generation trajectory to realign with the target prompt. Experiments on compositional image and video benchmarks demonstrate that Gazer improves semantic alignment and compositional accuracy across multiple AVMs without additional training.
