Beyond Text-to-Image: Liberating Generation with a Unified Discrete Diffusion Model

ICLR 2026poster

Autoregressive unified models suffer from slow inference due to sequential decoding, and non-autoregressive unified models suffer from weak generalization due to limited pretrained backbones. We introduce Muddit, a unified discrete diffusion transformer that enables fast and parallel generation acro…

Composing Concepts from Images and Videos via Concept-prompt Binding

CVPR 2026

Visual concept composition, which aims to integrate different elements from images and videos into a single, coherent visual output, still falls short in accurately extracting complex concepts from visual inputs and flexibly combining concepts from both images and videos. We introduce Bind & Compose

SesaHand: Enhancing 3D Hand Reconstruction via Controllable Generation with Semantic and Structural Alignment

ICLR 2026poster

Recent studies on 3D hand reconstruction have demonstrated the effectiveness of synthetic training data to improve estimation performance. However, most methods rely on game engines to synthesize hand images, which often lack diversity in textures and environments, and fail to include crucial compon…

Threshold-Guided Optimization for Visual Generative Models

ICML 2026poster

Aligning large visual generative models with human feedback is often performed through pairwise preference optimization. While such approaches are conceptually simple, they fundamentally rely on annotated pairs, limiting scalability in settings where feedback is collected as independent scalar ratin…

Analyzing the Synthetic-to-Real Domain Gap in 3D Hand Pose Estimation

CVPR 2025poster

Recent synthetic 3D human datasets for the face, body, and hands have pushed the limits on photorealism. Face recognition and body pose estimation have achieved state-of-the-art performance using synthetic training data alone, but for the hand, there is still a large synthetic-to-real gap. This pape…
