Benchmarking Visual State Tracking in Multimodal Video Understanding
Sihyun Yu, Nanye Ma, Pinzhi Huang +8
Understanding a video requires more than recognizing isolated moments, as humans continuously track entities, states, and events over time. This capacity for visual state tracking…
Beyond Language Modeling: An Exploration of Multimodal Pretraining
Shengbang Tong, David Fan, John Nguyen +18
The visual world offers a critical axis for advancing foundation models beyond language. Despite growing interest in this direction, the design space for native multimodal models r…
Scaling Text-to-Image Diffusion Transformers with Representation Autoencoders
Shengbang Tong, Boyang Zheng, Ziteng Wang +7
Representation Autoencoders (RAEs) have shown distinct advantages in diffusion modeling on ImageNet by training in high-dimensional semantic latent spaces. In this work, we investi…
Diffusion Transformers with Representation Autoencoders
Boyang Zheng, Nanye Ma, Shengbang Tong +1
Latent generative modeling, where a pretrained autoencoder maps pixels into a latent space for the diffusion process, has become the standard strategy for Diffusion Transformers (D…
Exploring the Deep Fusion of Large Language Models and Diffusion Transformers for Text-to-Image Synthesis
Bingda Tang, Boyang Zheng, Xichen Pan +2
This paper does not describe a new method; instead, it provides a thorough exploration of an important yet understudied design space related to recent advances in text-to-image syn…
