Addressable Memory for Video World Models

Xindi Wu, Sven Elflein, James Lucas +5

We study visual persistence in interactive video world models. These models rely on a Key-Value (KV) cache as a growing visual memory to carry forward previously generated frames.…

Motion Attribution for Video Generation

Xindi Wu, Despoina Paschalidou, Jun Gao +5

Despite the rapid progress of video generation models, the role of data in influencing motion is poorly understood. We present Motive (MOTIon attribution for Video gEneration), a m…

Beyond Objects: Contextual Synthetic Data Generation for Fine-Grained Classification

William Yang, Xindi Wu, Zhiwei Deng +2

Text-to-image (T2I) models are increasingly used for synthetic dataset generation, but generating effective synthetic training data for classification remains challenging. Fine-tun…

Variance Reduction for Expectations with Diffusion Teachers

Jesse Bettencourt, Xindi Wu, Matan Atzmon +2

Pretrained diffusion models serve as frozen teachers feeding downstream pipelines such as text-to-3D, single-step distillation, and data attribution. The teacher gradients these pi…

Visual Compositional Tuning

Xindi Wu, Hee Seung Hwang, Polina Kirichenko +2

Visual instruction tuning (VIT) datasets have grown rapidly in scale, yet the informativeness of individual training samples has largely been overlooked. Recent dataset selection m…
