Existing video-to-audio (V2A) generation methods predominantly rely on text prompts alongside visual information to synthesize audio. However, two critical bottlenecks persist: semantic granularity gaps in training data (e.g., conflating acoustically distinct sounds like different dog barks under co…
Text-guided image-to-video generation has made substantial progress, yet it still struggles to execute text-specified edits that require substantial changes to a reference image (e.g., object addition, deletion, or modification). Empirically, our analysis reveals that this stems from **visual domina…
Referring Video Object Segmentation (RVOS) requires segmenting specific objects in a video guided by a natural language description. The core challenge of RVOS is to anchor abstract linguistic concepts onto a specific set of pixels and continuously segment them through the complex dynamics of a vide…
While recent flow-based image editing models demonstrate general-purpose capabilities across diverse tasks, they often struggle to specialize in challenging scenarios---particularly those involving large-scale shape transformations. When performing such structural edits, these methods either fail t…
In this paper, we tackle the problem of performing consistent and unified modifications across a set of related images. This task is particularly challenging because these images may vary significantly in pose, viewpoint, and spatial layout. Achieving coherent edits requires establishing reliable co
Single-image relighting is highly under-constrained: small illumination changes can produce large, nonlinear variations in shading, shadows, and specularities, while geometry and materials remain unobserved. Existing diffusion-based approaches either rely on intrinsic- or G-buffer-based pipelines th
Autoregressive models, built based on the Next Token Prediction (NTP) paradigm, show great potential in developing a unified framework that integrates both language and vision tasks. Pioneering works introduce NTP to autoregressive visual generation tasks. In this work, we rethink the NTP for autore
Test-time strategies have shown remarkable success in improving large language models, but their application to next-token prediction (NTP) autoregressive (AR) image generation remains largely underexplored. Existing test-time scaling (TTS) methods for visual autoregressive models (VAR) rely on freq…
In this work, we present DreamDance, a novel method for animating human images using only skeleton pose sequences as conditional inputs. Existing approaches struggle with generating coherent, high-quality content in an efficient and user-friendly manner. Concretely, baseline methods relying on only…
Recent advancements in video generation have enabled the creation of high-quality, visually compelling videos. However, generating videos that adhere to the laws of physics remains a critical challenge for applications requiring realism and accuracy. In this work, we propose **PhysHPO**, a novel fra…
Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) offer a powerful mechanism for interpreting visual information. However, they often suffer from hallucinations, which impede the real-world usage of these models. Existing methods attempt to alleviate this issue by designing special decoding strategies that p…
Video generation using diffusion models has shown remarkable progress, yet it remains computationally expensive due to the repeated processing of redundant features across blocks and steps. To address this, we propose a novel adaptive feature reuse mechanism that dynamically identifies and caches th…
**M**ultimodal **L**arge **L**anguage **M**odels (MLLMs) have displayed remarkable performance in multimodal tasks, particularly in visual comprehension. However, we reveal that MLLMs often generate incorrect answers even when they understand the visual content. To this end, we manually construct a…
Large Multimodal Models (LMMs) have achieved impressive progress in visual perception and reasoning. However, when confronted with visually ambiguous or non-semantic scene text, they often struggle to accurately spot and understand the content, frequently generating semantically plausible yet visual…
We propose Make-A-Video -- an approach for directly translating the tremendous recent progress in Text-to-Image (T2I) generation to Text-to-Video (T2V). Our intuition is simple: learn what the world looks like and how it is described from paired text-image data, and learn how the world moves from un…
"Videos are created to express emotion, exchange information, and share experiences. Video synthesis has intrigued researchers for a long time. Despite the rapid progress driven by advances in visual synthesis, most existing studies focus on improving the frames’ quality and the transitions between…
"Multimodal video-audio-text understanding and generation can benefit from datasets that are narrow but rich. The narrowness allows bite-sized challenges that the research community can make progress on. The richness ensures we are making progress along the core challenges. To this end, we present a…
We show that the effectiveness of the well celebrated Mixup can be further improved if instead of using it as the sole learning objective, it is utilized as an additional regularizer to the standard cross-entropy loss. This simple change not only improves accuracy but also significantly improves the…
While deep neural networks have achieved remarkable success in various computer vision tasks, they often fail to generalize to subtle variations of input images. Several defenses have been proposed to improve the robustness against these variations. However, current defenses can only withstand the s…
