Boosting Resolution Generalization of Diffusion Transformers with Randomized Positional Encodings

AAAI 2026technical

Resolution generalization in image generation tasks enables the production of higher-resolution images with lower training resolution overhead. However, a key obstacle for diffusion transformers in addressing this problem is the mismatch between positional encodings seen at inference and those used

Stable Velocity: A Variance Perspective on Flow Matching

ICML 2026poster

While flow matching is elegant, its reliance on single-sample conditional velocities leads to high-variance training targets that destabilize optimization and slow convergence. By explicitly characterizing this variance, we identify 1) a *high-variance regime* near the prior, where optimization is c…

VMoBA: Mixture-of-Block Attention for Video Diffusion Models

ICLR 2026poster

The quadratic complexity of full attention mechanisms poses a significant bottleneck for Video Diffusion Models (VDMs) aiming to generate long-duration, high-resolution videos. While various sparse attention methods have been proposed, many are designed as training-free inference accelerators or do…

VMonarch: Efficient Video Diffusion Transformers with Structured Attention

CVPR 2026

The quadratic complexity of the attention mechanism severely limits the context scalability of Video Diffusion Transformers (DiTs). We find that the highly sparse spatio-temporal attention patterns exhibited in Video DiTs can be naturally represented by the Monarch matrix. It is a class of structure

PDE+: Enhancing Generalization via PDE with Adaptive Distributional Diffusion

AAAI 2024technical

The generalization of neural networks is a central challenge in machine learning, especially concerning the performance under distributions that differ from training ones. Current methods, mainly based on the data-driven paradigm such as data augmentation, adversarial training, and noise injection,…

Augmentation-Aware Self-Supervision for Data-Efficient GAN Training

NeurIPS 2023poster

Training generative adversarial networks (GANs) with limited data is challenging because the discriminator is prone to overfitting. Previously proposed differentiable augmentation demonstrates improved data efficiency of training GANs. However, the augmentation implicitly introduces undesired invari…

Conditional GANs with Auxiliary Discriminative Classifier

ICML 2022spotlight

Conditional generative models aim to learn the underlying joint distribution of data and labels to achieve conditional data generation. Among them, the auxiliary classifier generative adversarial network (AC-GAN) has been widely used, but suffers from the problem of low intra-class diversity of the…

SDGNN: Learning Node Representation for Signed Directed Networks

AAAI 2021technical

Network embedding is aimed at mapping nodes in a network into low-dimensional vector representations. Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have received widespread attention and lead to state-of-the-art performance in learning node representations. However, most GNNs only work in unsigned networks, where on…

Slimmable Generative Adversarial Networks

AAAI 2021technical

Generative adversarial networks (GANs) have achieved remarkable progress in recent years, but the continuously growing scale of models make them challenging to deploy widely in practical applications. In particular, for real-time generation tasks, different devices require generators of different si…
