Latent Forcing: Reordering the Diffusion Trajectory for Pixel-Space Image Generation

ICML 2026poster

Latent diffusion models excel at generating high-quality images but lose the benefits of end-to-end modeling. They discard information during image encoding, require a separately trained decoder, and model an auxiliary distribution to the raw data. In this paper, we propose Latent Forcing, a simple …

SyllableLM: Learning Coarse Semantic Units for Speech Language Models

ICLR 2025poster

Language models require tokenized inputs. However, tokenization strategies for continuous data like audio and vision are often based on simple heuristics such as fixed sized convolutions or discrete clustering, which do not necessarily align with the semantic structure of the data. For speech in par…
