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…

"Principal Components" Enable A New Language of Images
Xin Wen, Bingchen Zhao, Ismail Elezi +2
We introduce a novel visual tokenization framework that embeds a provable PCA-like structure into the latent token space. While existing visual tokenizers primarily optimize for re…

A Data-Centric Revisit of Pre-Trained Vision Models for Robot Learning
Xin Wen, Bingchen Zhao, Yilun Chen +2
Pre-trained vision models (PVMs) are fundamental to modern robotics, yet their optimal configuration remains unclear. Through systematic evaluation, we find that while DINO and iBO…
