Think in Strokes, Not Pixels: Process-Driven Image Generation via Interleaved Reasoning
Lei Zhang, Junjiao Tian, Zhipeng Fan +9
Humans paint images incrementally: they plan a global layout, sketch a coarse draft, inspect, and refine details, and most importantly, each step is grounded in the evolving visual…
UniT: Unified Multimodal Chain-of-Thought Test-time Scaling
Leon Liangyu Chen, Haoyu Ma, Zhipeng Fan +11
Unified models can handle both multimodal understanding and generation within a single architecture, yet they typically operate in a single pass without iteratively refining their…
Non-Markov Multi-Round Conversational Image Generation with History-Conditioned MLLMs
Haochen Zhang, Animesh Sinha, Felix Juefei-Xu +8
Conversational image generation requires a model to follow user instructions across multiple rounds of interaction, grounded in interleaved text and images that accumulate as chat…
Exploring MLLM-Diffusion Information Transfer with MetaCanvas
Han Lin, Xichen Pan, Ziqi Huang +10
Multimodal learning has rapidly advanced visual understanding, largely via multimodal large language models (MLLMs) that use powerful LLMs as cognitive cores. In visual generation,…
MaskINT: Video Editing via Interpolative Non-autoregressive Masked Transformers
Haoyu Ma, Shahin Mahdizadehaghdam, Bichen Wu +5
Recent advances in generative AI have significantly enhanced image and video editing, particularly in the context of text prompt control. State-of-the-art approaches predominantly…
