MAMBO-G: Magnitude-Aware Mitigation for Boosted Guidance

ICML 2026poster

High-fidelity text-to-image and text-to-video generation typically relies on Classifier-Free Guidance (CFG), but achieving optimal results often demands computationally expensive sampling schedules. In this work, we propose MAMBO-G, a training-free acceleration framework that significantly reduces c…

Accelerating Diffusion Sampling via Exploiting Local Transition Coherence

ICCV 2025poster

Text-based diffusion models have made significant breakthroughs in generating high-quality images and videos from textual descriptions. However, the lengthy sampling time of the denoising process remains a significant bottleneck in practical applications. Previous methods either ignore the statistic…

BACON: Improving Clarity of Image Captions via Bag-of-Concept Graphs

CVPR 2025poster

Advancements in large Vision-Language Models have brought precise, accurate image captioning, vital for advancing multi-modal image understanding and processing. Yet these captions often carry lengthy, intertwined contexts that are difficult to parse and frequently overlook essential cues, posing a…

Lipschitz Singularities in Diffusion Models

ICLR 2024oral

Diffusion models, which employ stochastic differential equations to sample images through integrals, have emerged as a dominant class of generative models. However, the rationality of the diffusion process itself receives limited attention, leaving the question of whether the problem is well-posed a…

Dimensionality-Varying Diffusion Process

CVPR 2023poster

Diffusion models, which learn to reverse a signal destruction process to generate new data, typically require the signal at each step to have the same dimension. We argue that, considering the spatial redundancy in image signals, there is no need to maintain a high dimensionality in the evolution pr…

FORTAP: Using Formulas for Numerical-Reasoning-Aware Table Pretraining

ACL 2022long

Tables store rich numerical data, but numerical reasoning over tables is still a challenge. In this paper, we find that the spreadsheet formula, a commonly used language to perform computations on numerical values in spreadsheets, is a valuable supervision for numerical reasoning in tables. Consider…

TaCube: Pre-computing Data Cubes for Answering Numerical-Reasoning Questions over Tabular Data

EMNLP 2022main

Existing auto-regressive pre-trained language models (PLMs) like T5 and BART, have been well applied to table question answering by UNIFIEDSKG and TAPEX, respectively, and demonstrated state-of-the-art results on multiple benchmarks. However, auto-regressive PLMs are challenged by recent emerging nu…
