摘要：
旋转位置嵌入（RoPE）在多模态扩散Transformer（MMDiT）中的集成显著提升了文本生成图像的质量。然而，生成过程中自注意力层对位置嵌入与查询-键相似性的根本依赖关系仍是一个值得探究的问题。我们首次对基于RoPE的MMDiT模型（如FLUX）开展机制分析，提出一种自动化探测策略，通过在生成过程中策略性地操控RoPE来解耦位置信息与内容依赖。分析揭示了与深度无直接关联的独特依赖模式，为理解基于RoPE的MMDiT中的层特定角色提供了新见解。基于这些发现，我们提出一个无需训练的任务特定图像编辑框架，将编辑任务分为三类：位置依赖型编辑（如添加物体）、内容相似性依赖型编辑（如非刚性编辑）和区域保留型编辑（如背景替换）。针对每类任务，我们根据其特点设计了定制化的键值注入策略。大量定性与定量评估表明，我们的方法优于现有最先进方法，尤其在保留原始语义内容和实现无缝修改方面表现突出。
英文摘要：
The integration of Rotary Position Embedding (RoPE) in Multimodal Diffusion Transformer (MMDiT) has significantly enhanced text-to-image generation quality. However, the fundamental reliance of self-attention layers on positional embedding versus query-key similarity during generation remains an intriguing question. We present the first mechanistic analysis of RoPE-based MMDiT models (e.g., FLUX), introducing an automated probing strategy that disentangles positional information versus content dependencies by strategically manipulating RoPE during generation. Our analysis reveals distinct dependency patterns that do not straightforwardly correlate with depth, offering new insights into the layer-specific roles in RoPE-based MMDiT. Based on these findings, we propose a training-free, task-specific image editing framework that categorizes editing tasks into three types: position-dependent editing (e.g., object addition), content similarity-dependent editing (e.g., non-rigid editing), and region-preserved editing (e.g., background replacement). For each type, we design tailored key-value injection strategies based on the characteristics of the editing task. Extensive qualitative and quantitative evaluations demonstrate that our method outperforms state-of-the-art approaches, particularly in preserving original semantic content and achieving seamless modifications.
