Majority of the Bests: Improving Best-of-N via Bootstrapping

Amin Rakhsha, Kanika Madan, Tianyu Zhang +2

Sampling multiple outputs from a Large Language Model (LLM) and selecting the most frequent (Self-consistency) or highest-scoring (Best-of-N) candidate is a popular approach to ach…

A Scalable Attention-Based Approach for Image-to-3D Texture Mapping

Arianna Rampini, Kanika Madan, Bruno Roy +2

High-quality textures are critical for realistic 3D content creation, yet existing generative methods are slow, rely on UV maps, and often fail to remain faithful to a reference im…

Wavelet Latent Diffusion (Wala): Billion-Parameter 3D Generative Model with Compact Wavelet Encodings

Aditya Sanghi, Aliasghar Khani, Pradyumna Reddy +5

Large-scale 3D generative models require substantial computational resources yet often fall short in capturing fine details and complex geometries at high resolutions. We attribute…
