FedSceneX: Time-to-Target Orchestration for Same-Scene Multimodal Federated Edge Learning

Dhe Yeong Tchalla, Beining Wu, Jun Huang +2

Federated learning at the sensing edge is typically evaluated by communication rounds, yet a round does not represent a fixed amount of work. Even on identical hardware, the method…

Understanding vs. Generation: Navigating Optimization Dilemma in Multimodal Models

Sen Ye, Mengde Xu, Shuyang Gu +3

Current research in multimodal models faces a key challenge where enhancing generative capabilities often comes at the expense of understanding, and vice versa. We analyzed this tr…

PromptEnhancer: A Simple Approach to Enhance Text-to-Image Models via Chain-of-Thought Prompt Rewriting

Linqing Wang, Ximing Xing, Yiji Cheng +13

Recent advancements in text-to-image (T2I) diffusion models have demonstrated remarkable capabilities in generating high-fidelity images. However, these models often struggle to fa…
