    "patent_abstract": "A method, apparatus, non-transitory computer readable medium, and system for image generation include obtaining an input prompt. A customized residual is added to a base parameter of an image generation model based on an element of the input prompt to obtain an updated parameter. The customized residual is determined based on the element of the input prompt. A synthesized image is generated using the image generation model with the updated parameter. The synthesized image depicts the element based on the input prompt.",
