Abstract: *We present Prompt Diffusion, a framework for enabling in-context learning in diffusion-based generative models. 
Given a pair of task-specific example images, such as depth from/to image and scribble from/to image, and a text guidance,
our model automatically understands the underlying task and performs the same task on a new query image following the text guidance.
To achieve this, we propose a vision-language prompt that can model a wide range of vision-language tasks and a diffusion model that takes it as input.
The diffusion model is trained jointly on six different tasks using these prompts. 
The resulting Prompt Diffusion model becomes the first diffusion-based vision-language foundation model capable of in-context learning. 
It demonstrates high-quality in-context generation for the trained tasks and effectively generalizes to new, unseen vision tasks using their respective prompts.
Our model also shows compelling text-guided image editing results. Our framework aims to facilitate research into in-context learning for computer vision, with code publicly available here.*
