What changed
Added trainable spatial-conditioning branches to frozen text-to-image diffusion models using zero-initialized connections.
Scientific scope
Added trainable spatial-conditioning branches to frozen text-to-image diffusion models using zero-initialized connections. The contribution is the original ControlNet architecture and evaluated controls. It does not establish universal control accuracy, preserve all model behavior, or include later ControlNet variants.
Evidence
The linked original sources describe the stated contribution and its evidence limits. WRS has not independently rerun the experiments or certified a proof. The contribution is the original ControlNet architecture and evaluated controls. It does not establish universal control accuracy, preserve all model behavior, or include later ControlNet variants.
