WinTok: A Win-Win Hybrid Tokenizer via Decomposing Visual Understanding and Generation with Transferable Tokens
Yiwei Guo, Shaobin Zhuang, Zhipeng Huang +4
Building a unified visual tokenizer is essential for bridging the gap between visual understanding and generation. Yet existing approaches struggle with the inherent conflict betwe…
BitLM: Unlocking Multi-Token Language Generation with Bitwise Continuous Diffusion
Shaobin Zhuang, Yuang Ai, Jiaming Han +7
Autoregressive language models generate text one token at a time, yet natural language is inherently structured in multi-token units, including phrases, n-grams, and collocations t…
LinearSR: Unlocking Linear Attention for Stable and Efficient Image Super-Resolution
Xiaohui Li, Shaobin Zhuang, Shuo Cao +6
Generative models for Image Super-Resolution (SR) are increasingly powerful, yet their reliance on self-attention's quadratic complexity (O(N^2)) creates a major computational bott…
BitDance: Scaling Autoregressive Generative Models with Binary Tokens
Yuang Ai, Jiaming Han, Shaobin Zhuang +8
We present BitDance, a scalable autoregressive (AR) image generator that predicts binary visual tokens instead of codebook indices. With high-entropy binary latents, BitDance lets…
UniWeTok: An Unified Binary Tokenizer with Codebook Size for Unified Multimodal Large Language Model
Shaobin Zhuang, Yuang Ai, Jiaming Han +12
Unified Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) require a visual representation that simultaneously supports high-fidelity reconstruction, complex semantic extraction, and generat…
UniFlow: A Unified Pixel Flow Tokenizer for Visual Understanding and Generation
Zhengrong Yue, Haiyu Zhang, Xiangyu Zeng +7
Tokenizer is a crucial component for both visual understanding and generation. To advance toward the ultimate goal of universal modeling, recent research has focused on developing…
