GAP3D: Generative Alignment of VLM Latents to Patch-Level Embeddings for 3D Generation

Polytimi Anna Gkotsi, Andrii Zadaianchuk, Mohammad Mahdi Derakhshani

Recent approaches integrating vision-language models (VLMs) as prompt encoders for generative model conditioning typically rely on expensive end-to-end training or map features to…

Purrception: Variational Flow Matching for Vector-Quantized Image Generation

Răzvan-Andrei Matişan, Vincent Tao Hu, Grigory Bartosh +6

We introduce Purrception, a variational flow matching approach for vector-quantized image generation that provides explicit categorical supervision while maintaining continuous tra…

Private PoEtry: Private In-Context Learning via Product of Experts

Rob Romijnders, Mohammad Mahdi Derakhshani, Jonathan Petit +3

In-context learning (ICL) enables Large Language Models (LLMs) to adapt to new tasks with only a small set of examples at inference time, thereby avoiding task-specific fine-tuning…

NeoBabel: A Multilingual Open Tower for Visual Generation

Mohammad Mahdi Derakhshani, Dheeraj Varghese, Marzieh Fadaee +1

Text-to-image generation advancements have been predominantly English-centric, creating barriers for non-English speakers and perpetuating digital inequities. While existing system…

Continual Hyperbolic Learning of Instances and Classes

Melika Ayoughi, Mina Ghadimi Atigh, Mohammad Mahdi Derakhshani +3

Continual learning has traditionally focused on classifying either instances or classes, but real-world applications, such as robotics and self-driving cars, require models to hand…

TULIP: Token-length Upgraded CLIP

Ivona Najdenkoska, Mohammad Mahdi Derakhshani, Yuki M. Asano +3

We address the challenge of representing long captions in vision-language models, such as CLIP. By design these models are limited by fixed, absolute positional encodings, restrict…
