GPIC: A Giant Permissive Image Corpus for Visual Generation

Keshigeyan Chandrasegaran, Kyle Sargent, Suchir Agarwal +6

Studying scalable methods for visual generative modeling requires large, accessible, and stable datasets. We introduce GPIC, a Giant Permissive Image Corpus of approximately 28 tri…

Latent Forcing: Reordering the Diffusion Trajectory for Pixel-Space Image Generation

Alan Baade, Eric Ryan Chan, Kyle Sargent +4

Latent diffusion models excel at generating high-quality images but lose the benefits of end-to-end modeling. They discard information during image encoding, require a separately t…

VLIC: Vision-Language Models As Perceptual Judges for Human-Aligned Image Compression

Kyle Sargent, Ruiqi Gao, Philipp Henzler +5

Evaluations of image compression performance which include human preferences have generally found that naive distortion functions such as MSE are insufficiently aligned to human pe…

Flow to the Mode: Mode-Seeking Diffusion Autoencoders for State-of-the-Art Image Tokenization

Kyle Sargent, Kyle Hsu, Justin Johnson +2

Since the advent of popular visual generation frameworks like VQGAN and latent diffusion models, state-of-the-art image generation systems have generally been two-stage systems tha…

View-Invariant Policy Learning via Zero-Shot Novel View Synthesis

Stephen Tian, Blake Wulfe, Kyle Sargent +4

Large-scale visuomotor policy learning is a promising approach toward developing generalizable manipulation systems. Yet, policies that can be deployed on diverse embodiments, envi…
