Is Multimodal Speculative Decoding Ready for Diffusion-Based Parallel Drafting? A Survey and Empirical Diagnosis
Yantao Li, Huanlin Gao, Fang Zhao +12
Speculative decoding accelerates autoregressive generation by allowing a lightweight drafter to propose future tokens while a target model verifies them in parallel. Its lossless g…
Scalable Question-Centric Text-to-Image Evaluation: Reliable Ranking, Fine-Grained Diagnosis, and Cost-Aware Routing
Shaoan Zhao, Fang Zhao, Xueqiang Guo +9
Modern text-to-image (T2I) models often have similar total scores but different strengths, making practical selection difficult. Fine-grained benchmarks decompose prompts into ques…
OTCache: Optimal Transport for Geometry-Aware Caching in Diffusion Models
Huanlin Gao, Fang Zhao, Qiang Hui +8
We propose OTCache, a training-free framework for accelerating diffusion sampling via caching schedule prediction. Existing graph-based caching methods reduce redundant computation…
MeanCache: From Instantaneous to Average Velocity for Accelerating Flow Matching Inference
Huanlin Gao, Ping Chen, Fuyuan Shi +11
We present MeanCache, a training-free caching framework for efficient Flow Matching inference. Existing caching methods reduce redundant computation but typically rely on instantan…
HiMo-CLIP: Modeling Semantic Hierarchy and Monotonicity in Vision-Language Alignment
Ruijia Wu, Ping Chen, Fei Shen +8
Contrastive vision-language models like CLIP have achieved impressive results in image-text retrieval by aligning image and text representations in a shared embedding space. Howeve…
