Reasoning-enhanced universal multimodal embeddings (UME) improve heterogeneous retrieval, but plausible rationales do not necessarily produce discriminative rankings. We study this…
GMO-EDIT: Grounded Multi-Operation Editing for E-Commerce Images
Zipeng Guo, Xiaoan Liu, Lichen Ma +9
Real-world e-commerce image editing often requires multiple, localized, and auditable operations rather than global restyling. This compositional nature poses a dual challenge: mod…
HyperDiT: Hyper-Connected Transformers for High-Fidelity Pixel-Space Diffusion
Yu He, Lichen Ma, Zipeng Guo +5
Pixel-space diffusion models bypass the reconstruction bottleneck of Variational Autoencoders (VAEs) but face a fundamental "granularity dilemma": capturing global semantics favors…
LiWi: Layering in the Wild
Yu He, Fang Li, Haoyang Tong +7
Recent advances in generative models have empowered impressive layered image generation, yet their success is largely confined to graphic design domains. The layering of in-the-wil…
