Through-The-Mask: Mask-based Motion Trajectories for Image-to-Video Generation

CVPR 2025poster

We consider the task of Image-to-Video (I2V) generation, which involves transforming static images into realistic video sequences based on a textual description. While recent advancements produce photorealistic outputs, they frequently struggle to create videos with accurate and consistent object mo…

VideoJAM: Joint Appearance-Motion Representations for Enhanced Motion Generation in Video Models

ICML 2025oral

Despite tremendous recent progress, generative video models still struggle to capture real-world motion, dynamics, and physics. We show that this limitation arises from the conventional pixel reconstruction objective, which biases models toward appearance fidelity at the expense of motion coherence.…

Emu Edit: Precise Image Editing via Recognition and Generation Tasks

CVPR 2024highlight

Instruction-based image editing holds immense potential for a variety of applications as it enables users to perform any editing operation using a natural language instruction. However current models in this domain often struggle with accurately executing user instructions. We present Emu Edit a mul…

Video Editing via Factorized Diffusion Distillation

ECCV 2024oral

"We introduce , a model that establishes a new state-of-the art in video editing without relying on any supervised video editing data. To develop we separately train an image editing adapter and a video generation adapter, and attach both to the same text-to-image model. Then, to align the adapters…

Pick-a-Pic: An Open Dataset of User Preferences for Text-to-Image Generation

NeurIPS 2023poster

The ability to collect a large dataset of human preferences from text-to-image users is usually limited to companies, making such datasets inaccessible to the public. To address this issue, we create a web app that enables text-to-image users to generate images and specify their preferences. Using t…

A Few More Examples May Be Worth Billions of Parameters

EMNLP 2022finding

We investigate the dynamics of increasing the number of model parameters versus the number of labeled examples across a wide variety of tasks. Our exploration reveals that while scaling parameters consistently yields performance improvements, the contribution of additional examples highly depends on…

Few-Shot Question Answering by Pretraining Span Selection

ACL 2021long

In several question answering benchmarks, pretrained models have reached human parity through fine-tuning on an order of 100,000 annotated questions and answers. We explore the more realistic few-shot setting, where only a few hundred training examples are available, and observe that standard models…
