DuoGen: Towards Autonomous Interleaved Multimodal Generation

CVPR 2026

Interleaved multimodal generation enables capabilities beyond unimodal generation models, such as step-by-step instructional guides, visual planning, and generating visual drafts for reasoning. However, the quality of existing interleaved generation models under general instructions remains limited

InfoTok: Adaptive Discrete Video Tokenizer via Information-Theoretic Compression

ICLR 2026oral

Accurate and efficient discrete video tokenization is essential for long video sequences processing. Yet, the inherent complexity and variable information density of videos present a significant bottleneck for current tokenizers, which rigidly compress all content at a fixed rate, leading to redunda…

Large Scale Diffusion Distillation via Score-Regularized Continuous-Time Consistency

ICLR 2026poster

Although continuous-time consistency models (e.g., sCM, MeanFlow) are theoretically principled and empirically powerful for fast academic-scale diffusion, its applicability to large-scale text-to-image and video tasks remains unclear due to infrastructure challenges in Jacobian-vector product (JVP)…

A Comprehensive Study of Decoder-Only LLMs for Text-to-Image Generation

CVPR 2025poster

Both text-to-image generation and large language models (LLMs) have made significant advancements. However, many text-to-image models still employ the somewhat outdated T5 and CLIP as their text encoders. In this work, we investigate the effectiveness of using modern decoder-only LLMs as text encode…

Preserve Your Own Correlation: A Noise Prior for Video Diffusion Models

ICCV 2023poster

Despite tremendous progress in generating high-quality images using diffusion models, synthesizing a sequence of animated frames that are both photorealistic and temporally coherent is still in its infancy. While off-the-shelf billion-scale datasets for image generation are available, collecting sim…

A Comprehensive Study of Image Classification Model Sensitivity to Foregrounds, Backgrounds, and Visual Attributes

CVPR 2022oral

While datasets with single-label supervision have propelled rapid advances in image classification, additional annotations are necessary in order to quantitatively assess how models make predictions. To this end, for a subset of ImageNet samples, we collect segmentation masks for the entire object a…

Understanding Over-parameterization in Generative Adversarial Networks

ICLR 2021poster

A broad class of unsupervised deep learning methods such as Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) involve training of overparameterized models where the number of parameters of the model exceeds a certain threshold. Indeed, most successful GANs used in practice are trained using overparameterized g…

Unsupervised anomaly detection with adversarial mirrored autoencoders

UAI 2021poster

Detecting out-of-distribution (OOD) samples is of paramount importance in all Machine Learning applications. Deep generative modeling has emerged as a dominant paradigm to model complex data distributions without labels. However, prior work has shown that generative models tend to assign higher like…

Curriculum Manager for Source Selection in Multi-Source Domain Adaptation

ECCV 2020poster

The performance of Multi-Source Unsupervised Domain Adaptation (MS-UDA) depends significantly on the effectiveness of transferring from labeled source domain samples. In this paper, we proposed an adversarial agent that learns a dynamic curriculum for source samples, called Curriculum Manager for So…

Learning to Balance Specificity and Invariance for In and Out of Domain Generalization

ECCV 2020poster

We introduce Domain-specific Masks for Generalization, a model for improving both in-domain and out-of-domain generalization performance. For domain generalization, the goal is to learn from a set of source domains to produce a single model that will best generalize to an unseen target domain. As su…

Robust Optimal Transport with Applications in Generative Modeling and Domain Adaptation

NeurIPS 2020poster

Optimal Transport (OT) distances such as Wasserstein have been used in several areas such as GANs and domain adaptation. OT, however, is very sensitive to outliers (samples with large noise) in the data since in its objective function, every sample, including outliers, is weighed similarly due to th…

Entropic GANs meet VAEs: A Statistical Approach to Compute Sample Likelihoods in GANs

ICML 2019oral

Building on the success of deep learning, two modern approaches to learn a probability model from the data are Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) and Variational AutoEncoders (VAEs). VAEs consider an explicit probability model for the data and compute a generative distribution by maximizing a va…

Generate to Adapt: Aligning Domains Using Generative Adversarial Networks

CVPR 2018poster

Domain Adaptation is an actively researched problem in Computer Vision. In this work, we propose an approach that leverages unsupervised data to bring the source and target distributions closer in a learned joint feature space. We accomplish this by inducing a symbiotic relationship between the lear…
