+# Overview
+The Boring Embeddings are negative-control textual inversion embeddings for Stable Diffusion models.  They are 
+widely used in the community (10M+ generations across public tools) to suppress low-quality,
+low-engagement visual patterns and make outputs look more visually appealing.

+## Research Summary / Technical Contribution
+
+This project demonstrates a novel approach to constructing negative-control embeddings using automated quality-based sampling 
+from large community-labeled image datasets. The method avoids hand-curated defect lists and instead captures latent features 
+correlated with low engagement. Applications include quality control in generative models, aesthetic filtering, and 
+domain-specific negative conditioning.

 Each training sample consisted of an image paired with a comma-separated list of all the tags associated with it on the site it was sourced from, with the embedding’s name prepended to the list. 
 This ensures that the model learns to associate the embedding with the characteristics of uninteresting images in a way that aligns with the dataset’s tagging system.
