Awakening Diffusion Transformers: Eliciting Stronger Generation and Understanding via Massive Activation Modulation
Chaofan Gan, Zicheng Zhao, Yuanpeng Tu +6
Massive Activations (MAs) have been widely observed in Transformer-based models, yet their structure and functional roles in Diffusion Transformers (DiTs) remain insufficiently und…
Multimodal Continuous Reasoning via Asymmetric Mutual Variational Learning
Shijie Li, Yilin Gao, Siyuan Yang +7
Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) are often constrained by a language-space bottleneck, forcing complex visual reasoning into discrete tokens which can lose perceptual nuanc…
GRACE: Boosting Video MLLMs with Grounded Action-Centric Evidence for Viewer Sentiment Prediction
Ruoxuan Yang, Tieyuan Chen, Xiaofeng Huang +6
Viewer sentiment prediction in video advertisements aims to infer the latent affective response evoked in the audience. To bridge the gap between what is shown and what is felt, mo…
VidLaDA: Bidirectional Diffusion Large Language Models for Efficient Video Understanding
Zhihao He, Tieyuan Chen, Kangyu Wang +6
Current Video Large Language Models (Video LLMs) typically encode frames via a vision encoder and employ an autoregressive (AR) LLM for understanding and generation. However, this…
DND: Boosting Large Language Models with Dynamic Nested Depth
Tieyuan Chen, Xiaodong Chen, Haoxing Chen +3
We introduce Dynamic Nested Depth (DND), a novel method that improves performance for off-the-shelf LLMs by selecting critical tokens to reprocess in a nested depth manner. Specifi…
Looking Beyond Visible Cues: Implicit Video Question Answering via Dual-Clue Reasoning
Tieyuan Chen, Huabin Liu, Yi Wang +8
Video Question Answering (VideoQA) aims to answer natural language questions based on the given video, with prior work primarily focusing on identifying the duration of relevant se…
