Beyond Text-to-Image: Liberating Generation with a Unified Discrete Diffusion Model

ICLR 2026poster

Autoregressive unified models suffer from slow inference due to sequential decoding, and non-autoregressive unified models suffer from weak generalization due to limited pretrained backbones. We introduce Muddit, a unified discrete diffusion transformer that enables fast and parallel generation acro…

HSSBench: Benchmarking Humanities and Social Sciences Ability for Multimodal Large Language Models

ICLR 2026poster

Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have demonstrated significant potential to advance a broad range of domains. However, current benchmarks for evaluating MLLMs primarily emphasize general knowledge and vertical step-by-step reasoning typical of STEM disciplines, while overlooking the distinct…

RecTok: Reconstruction Distillation along Rectified Flow

CVPR 2026

Visual tokenizers play a crucial role in diffusion models. The dimensionality of latent space governs both reconstruction fidelity and the semantic expressiveness of the latent feature. However, a fundamental trade-off is inherent between dimensionality and generation quality, constraining existing

Threshold-Guided Optimization for Visual Generative Models

ICML 2026poster

Aligning large visual generative models with human feedback is often performed through pairwise preference optimization. While such approaches are conceptually simple, they fundamentally rely on annotated pairs, limiting scalability in settings where feedback is collected as independent scalar ratin…

Improve LLM-as-a-Judge Ability as a General Ability

EMNLP 2025

LLM-as-a-Judge leverages the generative and reasoning capabilities of large language models (LLMs) to evaluate LLM responses across diverse scenarios, providing accurate preference signals. This approach plays a vital role in aligning LLMs with human values. Recent studies have raised many methods t
