Self-Forcing++: Towards Minute-Scale High-Quality Video Generation

ICLR 2026poster

Diffusion models have revolutionized image and video generation, achieving unprecedented visual quality. However, their reliance on transformer architectures incurs prohibitively high computational costs, particularly when extending generation to long videos. Recent work has explored autoregressive…

When Distance Distracts: Representation Distance Bias in BT-Loss for Reward Models

ICML 2026poster

Reward models are central to Large Language Model (LLM) alignment within the framework of RLHF. The standard objective used in reward modeling is the Bradley-Terry (BT) loss, which learns from pairwise data consisting of a pair of chosen and rejected responses. In this work, we analyze the per-sampl…

The Crystal Ball Hypothesis in diffusion models: Anticipating object positions from initial noise

ICLR 2025poster

Diffusion models have achieved remarkable success in text-to-image generation tasks, yet the influence of initial noise remains largely unexplored. In this study, we identify specific regions within the initial noise image, termed trigger patches, that play a key role in inducing object generation i…

When and How do negative prompts take effect?

ECCV 2024poster

"The concept of negative prompts, emerging from conditional generation models like Stable Diffusion, allows users to specify what to exclude from the generated images.Despite the widespread use of negative prompts, their intrinsic mechanisms remain largely unexplored. This paper presents the first c…
