Abstract: Personalizing generative text-to-image models has seen remarkable progress,
but extending this personalization to text-to-video models presents unique
challenges. Unlike static concepts, personalizing text-to-video models has the
potential to capture dynamic concepts, i.e., entities defined not only by their
appearance but also by their motion. In this paper, we introduce
Set-and-Sequence, a novel framework for personalizing Diffusion Transformers
(DiTs)-based generative video models with dynamic concepts. Our approach
imposes a spatio-temporal weight space within an architecture that does not
explicitly separate spatial and temporal features. This is achieved in two key
stages. First, we fine-tune Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) layers using an
unordered set of frames from the video to learn an identity LoRA basis that
represents the appearance, free from temporal interference. In the second
stage, with the identity LoRAs frozen, we augment their coefficients with
Motion Residuals and fine-tune them on the full video sequence, capturing
motion dynamics. Our Set-and-Sequence framework results in a spatio-temporal
weight space that effectively embeds dynamic concepts into the video model's
output domain, enabling unprecedented editability and compositionality while
setting a new benchmark for personalizing dynamic concepts.
