Abstract
An online concierge system trains a fine-tuned generative image model for distinct categories of items based on a generative image model that takes a textual query as input and outputs and an associated image. Training of the fine-tuned generative image model is additionally based on a small set of representative images associated with the various categories, as well as textual tokens associated with the categories. Once trained, the fine-tuned generative image model can be used to generate realistic representative images for items in a database of the online concierge system that are lacking associated images. The fine-tuned model permits the generation of different variants of an item, such as different quantities or amounts, different packaging or packing density, and the like.
