A Versatile Diffusion Transformer with Mixture of Noise Levels for Audiovisual Generation

NeurIPS 2024poster

Training diffusion models for audiovisual sequences allows for a range of generation tasks by learning conditional distributions of various input-output combinations of the two modalities. Nevertheless, this strategy often requires training a separate model for each task which is expensive. Here, we…

Language Model Beats Diffusion - Tokenizer is key to visual generation

ICLR 2024poster

While Large Language Models (LLMs) are the dominant models for generative tasks in language, they do not perform as well as diffusion models on image and video generation. To effectively use LLMs for visual generation, one crucial component is the visual tokenizer that maps pixel-space inputs to dis…

Photorealistic Video Generation with Diffusion Models

ECCV 2024poster

"We present , a diffusion transformer for photorealistic video generation from text prompts. Our approach has two key design decisions. First, we use a causal encoder to jointly compress images and videos within a unified latent space, enabling training and generation across modalities. Second, for…

VideoPoet: A Large Language Model for Zero-Shot Video Generation

ICML 2024oral

We present VideoPoet, a language model capable of synthesizing high-quality video from a large variety of conditioning signals. VideoPoet employs a decoder-only transformer architecture that processes multimodal inputs -- including images, videos, text, and audio. The training protocol follows that…

Discrete Predictor-Corrector Diffusion Models for Image Synthesis

ICLR 2023poster

We introduce Discrete Predictor-Corrector diffusion models (DPC), extending predictor-corrector samplers in Gaussian diffusion models to the discrete case. Predictor-corrector samplers are a class of samplers for diffusion models, which improve on ancestral samplers by correcting the sampling distri…

Muse: Text-To-Image Generation via Masked Generative Transformers

ICML 2023poster

We present Muse, a text-to-image Transformermodel that achieves state-of-the-art image genera-tion performance while being significantly moreefficient than diffusion or autoregressive models.Muse is trained on a masked modeling task indiscrete token space: given the text embeddingextracted from a pr…

Run-Sort-ReRun: Escaping Batch Size Limitations in Sliced Wasserstein Generative Models

ICML 2021spotlight

When training an implicit generative model, ideally one would like the generator to reproduce all the different modes and subtleties of the target distribution. Naturally, when comparing two empirical distributions, the larger the sample population, the more these statistical nuances can be captured…

ForestHash: Semantic Hashing With Shallow Random Forests and Tiny Convolutional Networks

ECCV 2018poster

In this paper, we introduce a random forest semantic hashing scheme that embeds tiny convolutional neural networks (CNN) into shallow random forests. A binary hash code for a data point is obtained by a set of decision trees, setting `1' for the visited tree leaf, and `0' for the rest. We propose to…

Not Afraid of the Dark: NIR-VIS Face Recognition via Cross-Spectral Hallucination and Low-Rank Embedding

CVPR 2017poster

Surveillance cameras today often capture NIR (near infrared) images in low-light environments. However, most face datasets accessible for training and verification are only collected in the VIS (visible light) spectrum. It remains a challenging problem to match NIR to VIS face images due to the diff…
