RepFusion: Leveraging Multimodal Priors for Denoising in Representation Space

Xichen Pan, Aashu Singh, Satya Narayan Shukla +3

Large language models (LLMs) are widely used in text-to-image (T2I) systems, but they are typically limited to text encoding, while denoising is handled by newly trained generative…

Unifying Contrastive and Generative Objectives for Visual Understanding and Text-to-Image Generation

Chao Li, Tianhong Li, Sai Vidyaranya Nuthalapati +9

Unifying text-image contrastive learning and text-to-image (T2I) generation in a single end-to-end model is challenging because the two objectives demand opposing masking regimes:…

A Simple and Effective Reinforcement Learning Method for Text-to-Image Diffusion Fine-tuning

Shashank Gupta, Chaitanya Ahuja, Tsung-Yu Lin +4

Reinforcement learning (RL)-based fine-tuning has emerged as a powerful approach for aligning diffusion models with black-box objectives. Proximal policy optimization (PPO) is a po…

StreamMem: Query-Agnostic KV Cache Memory for Streaming Video Understanding

Yanlai Yang, Zhuokai Zhao, Satya Narayan Shukla +4

Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have made significant progress in visual-language reasoning, but their ability to efficiently handle long videos remains limited. Despite r…
