Current mainstream methods of aligning diffusion models with human preferences typically employ VLM-based reward models.However, these reward models, pre-trained for semantic alignment, struggle to capture the essential perceptual qualities--such as aesthetics, composition, and visual harmony.In thi
With the success of flow matching in visual generation, sampling efficiency remains a critical bottleneck for its practical application. Among flow models' accelerating methods, ReFlow has been somehow overlooked although it has theoretical consistency with flow matching. This is primarily due to it
Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models benefit from Chain-of-Thought (CoT) reasoning, but existing approaches incur high inference overhead and rely on discrete reasoning representations that mismatch continuous perception and control. We propose Latent Reasoning VLA (LaRA-VLA), a unified VLA framework…
We study the task of establishing object-level visual correspondence across different viewpoints in videos, focusing on the challenging egocentric-to-exocentric and exocentric-to-egocentric scenarios. We propose a simple yet effective framework based on conditional binary segmentation, where an obje
Recent video editing models have achieved impressive results, but most still require large-scale paired datasets. Collecting such naturally aligned pairs at scale remains highly challenging and constitutes a critical bottleneck, especially for local video editing data. Existing workarounds transfer
Aligning objects with corresponding textual descriptions is a fundamental challenge and a realistic requirement in vision-language understanding. While recent multimodal embedding models excel at global image-text alignment, they often struggle with fine-grained alignment between image regions and s…
This paper explores parallel thinking for Multi-modal Large Language Models (MLLMs), aiming to improve Chain-of-Thought (CoT) through multiple diverse reasoning paths. We guide the model to list multiple visual key points and develop an independent reasoning path for each. Therefore, we term this me
Multimodal latent-space reasoning aims to replace explicit “thinking with images” by performing visual reasoning directly in a compact latent space. However, existing approaches largely rely on visual supervision and produce latent representations that lack sufficient semantic richness, limiting the…
Generalized linear bandits have been extensively studied due to their broad applicability in real-world online decision-making problems. However, these methods typically assume that the expected reward function is known to the users, an assumption that is often unrealistic in practice. Misspecificat…
Generating high-fidelity human videos that match user-specified identities is important yet challenging in the field of generative AI.Existing methods often rely on an excessive number of training parameters and lack compatibility with other AIGC tools.In this paper, we propose Stand-In, a lightweig
With the rapid advances of powerful multimodal models such as GPT-4o, Nano Banana, and Seedream 4.0 in Image Editing, the performance gap between closed-source and open-source models is widening, primarily due to the scarcity of large-scale, high-quality training data and comprehensive benchmarks ca
Generating RGB-A videos, which include alpha channels for transparency, has wide applications. However, current methods often suffer from low quality due to confusion between RGB and alpha. In this paper, we address this problem by learning shiftable RGB-A distributions. We adjust both the latent sp
Open-vocabulary object detection aims to detect arbitrary classes via text prompts. Methods without cross-modal fusion layers (non-fusion) offer faster inference by treating recognition as a retrieval problem, i.e., matching regions to text queries in a shared embedding space. In this work, we fully
Recent progress in multimodal large language models (MLLMs) has highlighted the challenge of efficiently bridging pre-trained Vision-Language Models (VLMs) with Diffusion Models. While methods using a fixed number of learnable query tokens offer computational efficiency, they suffer from task genera
Large-scale and categorical-balanced text data is essential for training effective Scene Text Recognition (STR) models, which is hard to achieve when collecting real data. Synthetic data offers a cost-effective and perfectly labeled alternative. However, its performance often lags behind, revealing
