The Image as Its Own Reward: Reinforcement Learning with Adversarial Reward for Image Generation

CVPR 2026

A reliable reward function is essential for reinforcement learning (RL) in image generation. Most current RL approaches depend on pre-trained preference models that output scalar rewards to approximate human preferences. However, these rewards often fail to capture human perception and are vulnerabl

DoraCycle: Domain-Oriented Adaptation of Unified Generative Model in Multimodal Cycles

CVPR 2025poster

Adapting generative models to specific domains presents an effective solution for satisfying specialized requirements. However, adapting to some complex domains remains challenging, especially when these domains require substantial paired data to capture the targeted distributions. Since unpaired da…

Show-o: One Single Transformer to Unify Multimodal Understanding and Generation

ICLR 2025poster

We present a unified transformer, i.e., Show-o, that unifies multimodal understanding and generation. Unlike fully autoregressive models, Show-o unifies autoregressive and (discrete) diffusion modeling to adaptively handle inputs and outputs of various and mixed modalities. The unified model flexibl…

DynVideo-E: Harnessing Dynamic NeRF for Large-Scale Motion- and View-Change Human-Centric Video Editing

CVPR 2024poster

Despite recent progress in diffusion-based video editing existing methods are limited to short-length videos due to the contradiction between long-range consistency and frame-wise editing. Prior attempts to address this challenge by introducing video-2D representations encounter significant difficul…

Exocentric-to-Egocentric Video Generation

NeurIPS 2024poster

We introduce Exo2Ego-V, a novel exocentric-to-egocentric diffusion-based video generation method for daily-life skilled human activities where sparse 4-view exocentric viewpoints are configured 360° around the scene. This task is particularly challenging due to the significant variations between exo…

DeVRF: Fast Deformable Voxel Radiance Fields for Dynamic Scenes

NeurIPS 2022accept

Modeling dynamic scenes is important for many applications such as virtual reality and telepresence. Despite achieving unprecedented fidelity for novel view synthesis in dynamic scenes, existing methods based on Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF) suffer from slow convergence (i.e., model training time me…
