KernelFusion: Zero-Shot Blind Super-Resolution via Patch Diffusion

ICLR 2026poster

Traditional super-resolution (SR) methods assume an "ideal'' downscaling SR-kernel (e.g., bicubic downscaling) between the high-resolution (HR) image and the low-resolution (LR) image. Such methods fail once the LR images are generated differently. Current blind-SR methods aim to remove this assumpt…

IT$^3$: Idempotent Test-Time Training

ICML 2025poster

Deep learning models often struggle when deployed in real-world settings due to distribution shifts between training and test data. While existing approaches like domain adaptation and test-time training (TTT) offer partial solutions, they typically require additional data or domain-specific auxilia…

RL-RC-DoT: A Block-level RL agent for Task-Aware Video Compression

CVPR 2025poster

Video encoders optimize compression for human perception by minimizing reconstruction error under bit-rate constraints. In many modern applications such as autonomous driving, an overwhelming majority of videos serve as input for AI systems performing tasks like object recognition or segmentation, r…

Idempotent Generative Network

ICLR 2024poster

We propose a new approach for generative modeling based on training a neural network to be idempotent. An idempotent operator is one that can be applied sequentially without changing the result beyond the initial application, namely $f(f(z))=f(z)$. The proposed model $f$ is trained to map a source d…

Stochastic positional embeddings improve masked image modeling

ICML 2024poster

Masked Image Modeling (MIM) is a promising self-supervised learning approach that enables learning from unlabeled images. Despite its recent success, learning good representations through MIM remains challenging because it requires predicting the right semantic content in accurate locations. For exa…

The Hidden Language of Diffusion Models

ICLR 2024poster

Text-to-image diffusion models have demonstrated an unparalleled ability to generate high-quality, diverse images from a textual prompt. However, the internal representations learned by these models remain an enigma. In this work, we present Conceptor, a novel method to interpret the internal repres…

Diverse Generation from a Single Video Made Possible

ECCV 2022poster

"GANs are able to perform generation and manipulation tasks, trained on a single video. However, these single video GANs require unreasonable amount of time to train on a single video, rendering them almost impractical. In this paper we question the necessity of a GAN for generation from a single vi…

Drop the GAN: In Defense of Patches Nearest Neighbors As Single Image Generative Models

CVPR 2022oral

Image manipulation dates back long before the deep learning era. The classical prevailing approaches were based on maximizing patch similarity between the input and generated output. Recently, single-image GANs were introduced as a superior and more sophisticated solution to image manipulation tasks…

Semantic Pyramid for Image Generation

CVPR 2020oral

We present a novel GAN-based model that utilizes the space of deep features learned by a pre-trained classification model. Inspired by classical image pyramid representations, we construct our model as a Semantic Generation Pyramid -- a hierarchical framework which leverages the continuum of semanti…

Blind Super-Resolution Kernel Estimation using an Internal-GAN

NeurIPS 2019oral

Super resolution (SR) methods typically assume that the low-resolution (LR) image was downscaled from the unknown high-resolution (HR) image by a fixed `ideal’ downscaling kernel (e.g. Bicubic downscaling). However, this is rarely the case in real LR images, in contrast to synthetically generated SR…

“Zero-Shot” Super-Resolution Using Deep Internal Learning

CVPR 2018poster

Deep Learning has led to a dramatic leap in Super-Resolution (SR) performance in the past few years. However, being supervised, these SR methods are restricted to specific training data, where the acquisition of the low-resolution (LR) images from their high-resolution (HR) counterparts is predeterm…
