Unified audio-language modeling has emerged as a prominent trend in modern speech systems, promising to bring the reasoning capabilities of large language models to auditory tasks.…
Vision Foundation Models as Generalist Tokenizers for Image Generation
Anlin Zheng, Qi Han, Xin Wen +5
In this work, we explore the largely unexplored direction of building a generalist image tokenizer directly on top of a frozen vision foundation model (VFM). To build this tokenize…
Dropping Anchor and Spherical Harmonics for Sparse-view Gaussian Splatting
Shuangkang Fang, I-Chao Shen, Xuanyang Zhang +5
Recent 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) Dropout methods address overfitting under sparse-view conditions by randomly nullifying Gaussian opacities. However, we identify a neighbor comp…
IGGT: Instance-Grounded Geometry Transformer for Semantic 3D Reconstruction
Hao Li, Zhengyu Zou, Fangfu Liu +8
Humans naturally perceive the geometric structure and semantic content of a 3D world as intertwined dimensions, enabling coherent and accurate understanding of complex scenes. Howe…
Vision Foundation Models as Effective Visual Tokenizers for Autoregressive Image Generation
Anlin Zheng, Xin Wen, Xuanyang Zhang +5
In this work, we present a novel direction to build an image tokenizer directly on top of a frozen vision foundation model, which is a largely underexplored area. Specifically, we…
NextStep-1: Toward Autoregressive Image Generation with Continuous Tokens at Scale
NextStep Team, Chunrui Han, Guopeng Li +47
Prevailing autoregressive (AR) models for text-to-image generation either rely on heavy, computationally-intensive diffusion models to process continuous image tokens, or employ ve…
