Expert Merging in Sparse Mixture of Experts with Nash Bargaining

Dung V. Nguyen, Anh T. Nguyen, Minh H. Nguyen +6

Existing expert merging strategies for Sparse Mixture of Experts (SMoE) typically rely on input-dependent or input-independent averaging of expert parameters, but often lack a prin…

Data-Driven Loss Functions for Inference-Time Optimization in Text-to-Image

Sapir Esther Yiflach, Yuval Atzmon, Gal Chechik

Text-to-image diffusion models can generate stunning visuals, yet they often fail at tasks children find trivial--like placing a dog to the right of a teddy bear rather than to the…

Per-Query Visual Concept Learning

Ori Malca, Dvir Samuel, Gal Chechik

Visual concept learning, also known as Text-to-image personalization, is the process of teaching new concepts to a pretrained model. This has numerous applications from product pla…

Knowing Before Saying: LLM Representations Encode Information About Chain-of-Thought Success Before Completion

Anum Afzal, Florian Matthes, Gal Chechik +1

We investigate whether the success of a zero-shot Chain-of-Thought (CoT) process can be predicted before completion. We discover that a probing classifier, based on LLM representat…

Emergent Active Perception and Dexterity of Simulated Humanoids from Visual Reinforcement Learning

Zhengyi Luo, Chen Tessler, Toru Lin +8

Human behavior is fundamentally shaped by visual perception -- our ability to interact with the world depends on actively gathering relevant information and adapting our movements…

Policy Optimized Text-to-Image Pipeline Design

Uri Gadot, Rinon Gal, Yftah Ziser +2

Text-to-image generation has evolved beyond single monolithic models to complex multi-component pipelines. These combine fine-tuned generators, adapters, upscaling blocks and even…

MaskedManipulator: Versatile Whole-Body Manipulation

Chen Tessler, Yifeng Jiang, Erwin Coumans +3

We tackle the challenges of synthesizing versatile, physically simulated human motions for full-body object manipulation. Unlike prior methods that are focused on detailed motion t…

Efficient GNN Training Through Structure-Aware Randomized Mini-Batching

Vignesh Balaji, Christos Kozyrakis, Gal Chechik +1

Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) enable learning on realworld graphs and mini-batch training has emerged as the de facto standard for training GNNs because it can scale to very large g…

Accelerating Vehicle Routing via AI-Initialized Genetic Algorithms

Ido Greenberg, Piotr Sielski, Hugo Linsenmaier +5

Vehicle Routing Problems (VRP) are an extension of the Traveling Salesperson Problem and are a fundamental NP-hard challenge in combinatorial optimization. Solving VRP in real-time…

Adapting to the Unknown: Training-Free Audio-Visual Event Perception with Dynamic Thresholds

Eitan Shaar, Ariel Shaulov, Gal Chechik +1

In the domain of audio-visual event perception, which focuses on the temporal localization and classification of events across distinct modalities (audio and visual), existing appr…

TriTex: Learning Texture from a Single Mesh via Triplane Semantic Features

Dana Cohen-Bar, Daniel Cohen-Or, Gal Chechik +1

As 3D content creation continues to grow, transferring semantic textures between 3D meshes remains a significant challenge in computer graphics. While recent methods leverage text-…

Single Image Iterative Subject-driven Generation and Editing

Yair Shpitzer, Gal Chechik, Idan Schwartz

Personalizing image generation and editing is particularly challenging when we only have a few images of the subject, or even a single image. A common approach to personalization i…

Padding Tone: A Mechanistic Analysis of Padding Tokens in T2I Models

Michael Toker, Ido Galil, Hadas Orgad +4

Text-to-image (T2I) diffusion models rely on encoded prompts to guide the image generation process. Typically, these prompts are extended to a fixed length by adding padding tokens…

OmnimatteZero: Fast Training-free Omnimatte with Pre-trained Video Diffusion Models

Dvir Samuel, Matan Levy, Nir Darshan +2

In Omnimatte, one aims to decompose a given video into semantically meaningful layers, including the background and individual objects along with their associated effects, such as…

Go Beyond Your Means: Unlearning with Per-Sample Gradient Orthogonalization

Aviv Shamsian, Eitan Shaar, Aviv Navon +2

Machine unlearning aims to remove the influence of problematic training data after a model has been trained. The primary challenge in machine unlearning is ensuring that the proces…

Classifier-Guided Captioning Across Modalities

Ariel Shaulov, Tal Shaharabany, Eitan Shaar +2

Most current captioning systems use language models trained on data from specific settings, such as image-based captioning via Amazon Mechanical Turk, limiting their ability to gen…
