Muddit: Liberating Generation Beyond Text-to-Image with a Unified Discrete Diffusion Model
Qingyu Shi, Jinbin Bai, Zhuoran Zhao +7
Unified generation models aim to handle diverse tasks across modalities -- such as text generation, image generation, and vision-language reasoning -- within a single architecture…
Prism: Efficient Test-Time Scaling via Hierarchical Search and Self-Verification for Discrete Diffusion Language Models
Jinbin Bai, Yixuan Li, Yuchen Zhu +8
Inference-time compute has re-emerged as a practical way to improve LLM reasoning. Most test-time scaling (TTS) algorithms rely on autoregressive decoding, which is ill-suited to d…
EditMGT: Unleashing Potentials of Masked Generative Transformers in Image Editing
Wei Chow, Linfeng Li, Lingdong Kong +13
Recent advances in diffusion models (DMs) have achieved exceptional visual quality in image editing tasks. However, the global denoising dynamics of DMs inherently conflate local e…
RecTok: Reconstruction Distillation along Rectified Flow
Qingyu Shi, Size Wu, Jinbin Bai +5
Visual tokenizers play a crucial role in diffusion models. The dimensionality of latent space governs both reconstruction fidelity and the semantic expressiveness of the latent fea…
From Masks to Worlds: A Hitchhiker's Guide to World Models
Jinbin Bai, Yu Lei, Hecong Wu +7
This is not a typical survey of world models; it is a guide for those who want to build worlds. We do not aim to catalog every paper that has ever mentioned a ``world model". Inste…
An Empirical Study of GPT-4o Image Generation Capabilities
Sixiang Chen, Jinbin Bai, Zhuoran Zhao +16
The landscape of image generation has rapidly evolved, from early GAN-based approaches to diffusion models and, most recently, to unified generative architectures that seek to brid…
