Both Semantics and Reconstruction Matter: Making Representation Encoders Ready for Text-to-Image Generation and Editing

ICML 2026poster

Modern Latent Diffusion Models (LDMs) typically operate in low-level Variational Autoencoder (VAE) latent spaces that are primarily optimized for pixel-level reconstruction. To unify vision generation and understanding, a burgeoning trend is to adopt high-dimensional features from representation enc…

EditMGT: Unleashing Potentials of Masked Generative Transformers in Image Editing

CVPR 2026

Recent advances in diffusion models (DMs) have achieved exceptional visual quality in image editing tasks. However, the global denoising dynamics of DMs inherently conflate local editing targets with the full-image context, leading to unintended modifications in non-target regions. In this paper, we

EditVerse: Unifying Image and Video Editing and Generation with In-Context Learning

ICLR 2026oral

Recent advances in foundation models highlight a clear trend toward unification and scaling, showing emergent capabilities across diverse domains. While image generation and editing have rapidly transitioned from task-specific to unified frameworks, video generation and editing remain fragmented due…

HBridge: H-Shape Bridging of Heterogeneous Experts for Unified Multimodal Understanding and Generation

CVPR 2026

Recent unified models integrate understanding experts (e.g., LLMs) with generative experts (e.g., diffusion models), achieving strong multimodal performance. However, recent advanced methods such as BAGEL and LMFusion follow the Mixture-of-Transformers (MoT) paradigm, adopting a symmetric design tha

MiCo: Multi-image Contrast for Reinforcement Visual Reasoning

NeurIPS 2025poster

This work explores enabling Chain-of-Thought (CoT) reasoning to link visual cues across multiple images. A straightforward solution is to adapt rule-based reinforcement learning for Vision-Language Models (VLMs). However, such methods typically rely on manually curated question-answer pairs, which c…

Training-Free Efficient Video Generation via Dynamic Token Carving

NeurIPS 2025poster

Despite the remarkable generation quality of video Diffusion Transformer (DiT) models, their practical deployment is severely hindered by extensive computational requirements. This inefficiency stems from two key challenges: the quadratic complexity of self-attention with respect to token length and…

PnP Inversion: Boosting Diffusion-based Editing with 3 Lines of Code

ICLR 2024poster

Text-guided diffusion models have revolutionized image generation and editing, offering exceptional realism and diversity. Specifically, in the context of diffusion-based editing, where a source image is edited according to a target prompt, the process commences by acquiring a noisy latent vector co…

RL-GPT: Integrating Reinforcement Learning and Code-as-policy

NeurIPS 2024oral

Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated proficiency in utilizing various tools by coding, yet they face limitations in handling intricate logic and precise control. In embodied tasks, high-level planning is amenable to direct coding, while low-level actions often necessitate task-specific ref…

Tent: Fully Test-Time Adaptation by Entropy Minimization

ICLR 2021spotlight

A model must adapt itself to generalize to new and different data during testing. In this setting of fully test-time adaptation the model has only the test data and its own parameters. We propose to adapt by test entropy minimization (tent): we optimize the model for confidence as measured by the en…

Hyperbolic Visual Embedding Learning for Zero-Shot Recognition

CVPR 2020poster

This paper proposes a Hyperbolic Visual Embedding Learning Network for zero-shot recognition. The network learns image embeddings in hyperbolic space, which is capable of preserving the hierarchical structure of semantic classes in low dimensions. Comparing with existing zero-shot learning approache…
