Causality in Video Diffusers is Separable from Denoising

CVPR 2026

Causality--referring to temporal, uni-directional cause-effect relationships between components--underlies many complex generative processes, including videos, language, and robot trajectories.Current causal diffusion models entangle temporal reasoning with iterative denoising, applying causal atten

Improved Mean Flows: On the Challenges of Fastforward Generative Models

CVPR 2026

MeanFlow (MF) has recently been established as a framework for one-step generative modeling. However, its "fastforward" nature introduces key challenges in both the training objective and the guidance mechanism. First, the original MF's training target depends not only on the underlying ground-truth

Revisiting Global Text Conditioning in Diffusion Transformers

ICLR 2026poster

Diffusion transformers typically incorporate textual information via (i) attention layers and (ii) a modulation mechanism using a pooled text embedding. Nevertheless, recent approaches discard modulation-based text conditioning and rely exclusively on attention. In this paper, we address whether mod…

What matters for Representation Alignment: Global Information or Spatial Structure?

ICLR 2026poster

Representation alignment helps generation by distilling representations from a pretrained vision encoder to intermediate diffusion features. We investigate a fundamental question - `what aspect of the target representation matters for generation, its global information (measured by Imagenet1K accura…

A Scale-Adaptive and Background-Robust Method for Surface Defect Detection

ICASSP 2025accepted

Despite deep learning-based methods perform remarkably well in surface defect detection recently, the unpredictable shapes and sizes of surface defects and complicated texture background still pose enormous challenges for existing methods. To address these problems, we propose a novel surface defect…

Beyond Graphs: Can Large Language Models Comprehend Hypergraphs?

ICLR 2025poster

Existing benchmarks like NLGraph and GraphQA evaluate LLMs on graphs by focusing mainly on pairwise relationships, overlooking the high-order correlations found in real-world data. Hypergraphs, which can model complex beyond-pairwise relationships, offer a more robust framework but are still underex…

HyperTrans: Efficient Hypergraph-Driven Cross-Domain Pattern Transfer in Image Anomaly Detection

IJCAI 2025

Anomaly detection plays a pivotal role in industrial quality assurance processes, with cross-domain problems, exemplified by the model upgrade from RGB to 3D, being prevalent in real-world scenarios yet remaining systematically underexplored. To address the severe challenges posed by the extreme lac

SliderSpace: Decomposing the Visual Capabilities of Diffusion Models

ICCV 2025poster

We present SliderSpace, a framework for automatically decomposing the visual capabilities of diffusion models into controllable and human-understandable directions. Unlike existing control methods that require a user to specify attributes for each edit direction individually, SliderSpace discovers m…

TurboFill: Adapting Few-step Text-to-image Model for Fast Image Inpainting

CVPR 2025poster

This paper introduces TurboFill, a fast image inpainting model that enhances a few-step text-to-image diffusion model with an inpainting adapter for high-quality and efficient inpainting. While standard diffusion models generate high-quality results, they incur high computational costs. We overcome…

A Reconstruction-Based Feature Adaptation for Anomaly Detection with Self-Supervised Multi-Scale Aggregation

ICASSP 2024accepted

Most previous embedding-based methods for anomaly detection directly utilize the visual features extracted from pretrained CNN network. However, there usually exists a gap of domain between pretrained data and target data in anomaly detection. To alleviate this discrepancy, we introduce ReconFA in t…

CLIP-FSAC: Boosting CLIP for Few-Shot Anomaly Classification with Synthetic Anomalies

IJCAI 2024poster

Few-shot anomaly classification (FSAC) is a vital task in manufacturing industry. Recent methods focus on utilizing CLIP in zero/few normal shot anomaly detection instead of custom models. However, there is a lack of specific text prompts in anomaly classification and most of them ignore the modalit…

Memory-Friendly Scalable Super-Resolution via Rewinding Lottery Ticket Hypothesis

CVPR 2023poster

Scalable deep Super-Resolution (SR) models are increasingly in demand, whose memory can be customized and tuned to the computational recourse of the platform. The existing dynamic scalable SR methods are not memory-friendly enough because multi-scale models have to be saved with a fixed size for eac…
