In this paper, we introduce SemHiTok, a unified image Tokenizer via Semantic-Guided Hierarchical codebook (SGHC) that provides consistent discrete representations for multimodal understanding and generation. Recently, unified image tokenizers have sparked exploration within the research community, w…
Current text-to-image (T2I) generation models often struggle with prompts that require complex reasoning or specialized knowledge, failing to accurately interpret implicit user intent. To bridge this gap, we introduce T2I-Reason, a large-scale dataset designed to empower text-to-image generation in
Recent advances in diffusion models have greatly improved text-driven video generation. However, training models for long video generation demands significant computational power and extensive data, leading most video diffusion models to be limited to a small number of frames. Existing training-free…
GPT-4o, an omni-modal model that enables vocal conversations with diverse emotions and tones, marks a milestone for omni-modal foundation models. However, empowering Large Language Models to perceive and generate images, texts, and speeches end-to-end with publicly available data remains challenging…
Text-driven video generation has advanced significantly due to developments in diffusion models. Beyond the training and sampling phases, recent studies have investigated noise priors of diffusion models, as improved noise priors yield better generation results. One recent approach employs the Fouri…
High-resolution image inputs allow Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) to capture finer visual details, improving comprehension. However, the increased training and computational costs associated with such inputs pose significant challenges. A common approach to mitigate these costs involves slicin…
In this paper, we introduce ILLUME, a unified multimodal large language model (MLLM) that seamlessly integrates multimodal understanding and generation capabilities within a single large language model through a unified next-token prediction formulation.To address the large dataset size typically re…
Unified vision-language models have made significant progress in multimodal understanding and generation, yet they largely fall short in producing multimodal interleaved outputs, which is a crucial capability for tasks like visual storytelling and step-by-step visual reasoning. In this work, we prop…
The rapid development of large language models (LLMs) has not only provided numerous opportunities but also presented significant challenges. This becomes particularly evident when LLMs inadvertently generate harmful or toxic content, either unintentionally or because of intentional inducement. Exis…
"Large vision-language models (VLMs) have garnered increasing interest in autonomous driving areas, due to their advanced capabilities in complex reasoning tasks essential for highly autonomous vehicle behavior. Despite their potential, research in autonomous systems is hindered by the lack of datas…
Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated exceptional capabilities in text understanding, which has paved the way for their expansion into video LLMs (Vid-LLMs) to analyze video data. However, current Vid-LLMs struggle to simultaneously retain high-quality frame-level semantic information (i.e.…
Currently, vision encoder models like Vision Transformers (ViTs) typically excel at image recognition tasks but cannot simultaneously support text recognition like human visual recognition. To address this limitation, we propose UNIT, a novel training framework aimed at UNifying Image and Text recog…
Recently, polar-based representation has shown promising properties in perceptual tasks. In addition to Cartesian-based approaches, which separate point clouds unevenly, representing point clouds as polar grids has been recognized as an alternative due to (1) its advantage in robust performance unde…
LiDAR and camera are two common sensors to collect data in time for 3D object detection under the autonomous driving context. Though the complementary information across sensors and time has great potential of benefiting 3D perception, taking full advantage of sequential cross-sensor data still rema…
Most existing point cloud detection models require large-scale, densely annotated datasets. They typically underperform in domain adaptation settings, due to geometry shifts caused by different physical environments or LiDAR sensor configurations. Therefore, it is challenging but valuable to learn t…
Camera and LiDAR are two complementary sensors for 3D object detection in the autonomous driving context. Camera provides rich texture and color cues while LiDAR specializes in relative distance sensing. The challenge of 3D object detection lies in effectively fusing 2D camera images with 3D LiDAR p…
