UniSER: A Foundation Model for Unified Soft Effects Removal
Jingdong Zhang, Lingzhi Zhang, Qing Liu +12
Digital images are often degraded by soft effects such as lens flare, haze, shadows, and reflections, which reduce aesthetics even though the underlying pixels remain partially vis…
Relational Visual Similarity
Thao Nguyen, Sicheng Mo, Krishna Kumar Singh +6
Humans do not just see attribute similarity -- we also see relational similarity. An apple is like a peach because both are reddish fruit, but the Earth is also like a peach: its c…
Fine-grained Defocus Blur Control for Generative Image Models
Ayush Shrivastava, Connelly Barnes, Xuaner Zhang +4
Current text-to-image diffusion models excel at generating diverse, high-quality images, yet they struggle to incorporate fine-grained camera metadata such as precise aperture sett…
X-Fusion: Introducing New Modality to Frozen Large Language Models
Sicheng Mo, Thao Nguyen, Xun Huang +9
We propose X-Fusion, a framework that extends pretrained Large Language Models (LLMs) for multimodal tasks while preserving their language capabilities. X-Fusion employs a dual-tow…
Layer- and Timestep-Adaptive Differentiable Token Compression Ratios for Efficient Diffusion Transformers
Haoran You, Connelly Barnes, Yuqian Zhou +10
Diffusion Transformers (DiTs) have achieved state-of-the-art (SOTA) image generation quality but suffer from high latency and memory inefficiency, making them difficult to deploy o…
