Abra: Scaling Diffusion Image Training
Kyle Chickering, Wei-An Lin, Swayam Bhanded +5
Compute-optimal scaling laws guide the training of frontier language models yet remain largely unexplored for visual generation. We present a systematic scaling law study for text-…
VisAnalog: A Diagnostic Suite for Visual Concept Transfer on Natural Images
Zhaonan Li, Kyle R. Chickering, Bangzheng Li +13
A useful test of visual concept learning is not just whether a model can recognize a concept in a single image, but whether it can preserve and manipulate concept-level properties…
GQA-μP: The maximal parameterization update for grouped query attention
Kyle R. Chickering, Huijuan Wang, Mengxi Wu +7
Hyperparameter transfer across model architectures dramatically reduces the amount of compute necessary for tuning large language models (LLMs). The maximal update parameterization…
QLIP: A Dynamic Quadtree Vision Prior Enhances MLLM Performance Without Retraining
Kyle R. Chickering, Bangzheng Li, Muhao Chen
Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) encode images into visual tokens, aligning visual and textual signals within a shared latent space to facilitate crossmodal representation…
A Quasilinear Algorithm for Computing Higher-Order Derivatives of Deep Feed-Forward Neural Networks
Kyle R. Chickering
The use of neural networks for solving differential equations is practically difficult due to the exponentially increasing runtime of autodifferentiation when computing high-order…
