GIC-DLC: Differentiable Logic Circuits for Hardware-Friendly Grayscale Image Compression

Till Aczel, David F. Jenny, Simon Bührer +3

Neural image codecs achieve higher compression ratios than traditional hand-crafted methods such as PNG or JPEG-XL, but often incur substantial computational overhead, limiting the…

Efficient Bayesian Inference from Noisy Pairwise Comparisons

Till Aczel, Lucas Theis, Roger Wattenhofer

Evaluating generative models is challenging because standard metrics often fail to reflect human preferences. Human evaluations are more reliable but costly and noisy, as participa…

Conditional Hallucinations for Image Compression

Till Aczel, Roger Wattenhofer

In lossy image compression, models face the challenge of either hallucinating details or generating out-of-distribution samples due to the information bottleneck. This implies that…
