Mirai: Autoregressive Visual Generation Needs Foresight

Yonghao Yu, Lang Huang, Zerun Wang +2

Autoregressive (AR) visual generators model images as sequences of discrete tokens and are trained with a next-token likelihood objective. This strict causal supervision optimizes…

Blow-ups of minimal surfaces in the Heisenberg group

Yonghao Yu

In this paper, we revise Monti's results on the blow-ups of H-perimeter minimizing sets in . Monti demonstrated that the Lipschitz approximation of the blow-up, after…

Stretchcam: Zooming Using Thin, Elastic Optics

Daniel C. Sims, Oliver Cossairt, Yonghao Yu +1

Stretchcam is a thin camera with a lens capable of zooming with small actuations. In our design, an elastic lens array is placed on top of a sparse, rigid array of pixels. This len…

Video-Mirai: Autoregressive Video Diffusion Models Need Foresight

Yonghao Yu, Lang Huang, Runyi Li +2

Causal video generators must predict from the past, but they need not learn only from it. In streaming autoregressive video diffusion, each emitted segment becomes a commitment tha…

Logit Poisoning Attack in Distillation-based Federated Learning and its Countermeasures

Yonghao Yu, Shunan Zhu, Jinglu Hu

Distillation-based federated learning has emerged as a promising collaborative learning approach, where clients share the output logit vectors of a public dataset rather than their…
