VAR RL Done Right: Tackling Asynchronous Policy Conflicts in Visual Autoregressive Generation

CVPR 2026

Visual generation is dominated by three paradigms: AutoRegressive (AR), diffusion, and Visual AutoRegressive (VAR) models. Unlike AR and diffusion, VARs operate on heterogeneous input structures across their generation steps, which creates severe asynchronous policy conflicts. This issue becomes par

Jacobian-Based Interpretation of Nonlinear Neural Encoding Model

NeurIPS 2025spotlight

In recent years, the alignment between artificial neural network (ANN) embeddings and blood oxygenation level dependent (BOLD) responses in functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) via neural encoding models has significantly advanced research on neural representation mechanisms and interpretabi…

TokenFlow: Unified Image Tokenizer for Multimodal Understanding and Generation

CVPR 2025poster

We present TokenFlow, a novel unified image tokenizer that bridges the long-standing gap between multimodal understanding and generation. Prior research attempt to employ a single reconstruction-targeted Vector Quantization (VQ) encoder for unifying these two tasks. We observe that understanding an…
