KathaTrace: Diagnosing Semantic Trajectory Collapse in Generated Visual Narratives
Jamuna S. Murthy, Amin Karimi Monsefi, Rajiv Ramnath
Visual narratives are central to storyboards, comics, children's media, and film previsualization, where viewers understand stories from images alone. Recent generators such as Sto…
Controlla: Learning Controllability via Graph-Constrained Latent Geometry
Jamuna S. Murthy, Amin Karimi Monsefi, Rajiv Ramnath
Controllable multimodal generation is commonly formulated as an inference-time conditioning problem using prompts, guidance, or auxiliary modules. While effective, such approaches…
SeamCam: Quantifying Seamless Camouflage via Multi-Cue Visual Detectability
Amin Karimi Monsefi, Abolfazl Meyarian, Mridul Khurana +6
Animals are described as effectively camouflaged when they blend seamlessly with their surrounding, yet no standardized quantitative measure of this seamlessness exists. We address…
ECLIPSE: An Evolutionary Computation Library for Instrumentation Prototyping in Scientific Engineering
Max Foreback, Evan Imata, Vincent Ragusa +18
Designing scientific instrumentation often requires exploring large, highly constrained design spaces using computationally expensive physics simulations. These simulators pose sub…
TaxaAdapter: Vision Taxonomy Models are Key to Fine-grained Image Generation over the Tree of Life
Mridul Khurana, Amin Karimi Monsefi, Justin Lee +9
Accurately generating images across the Tree of Life is difficult: there are over 10M distinct species on Earth, many of which differ only by subtle visual traits. Despite the rema…
DiReCT: Disentangled Regularization of Contrastive Trajectories for Physics-Refined Video Generation
Abolfazl Meyarian, Amin Karimi Monsefi, Rajiv Ramnath +1
Flow-matching video generators produce temporally coherent, high-fidelity outputs yet routinely violate elementary physics because their reconstruction objectives penalize per-fram…
