David and Goliath: Small One-step Model Beats Large Diffusion with Score Post-training

ICML 2025poster

We propose Diff-Instruct*(DI*), a data-efficient post-training approach to one-step text-to-image generative models to improve its human preferences without requiring image data. Our method frames alignment as online reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF), which optimizes a human reward f…

Uni-Instruct: One-step Diffusion Model through Unified Diffusion Divergence Instruction

NeurIPS 2025poster

In this paper, we unify more than 10 existing one-step diffusion distillation approaches, such as Diff-Instruct, DMD, SIM, SiD, $f$-distill, etc, inside a theory-driven framework which we name the \textbf{\emph{Uni-Instruct}}. Uni-Instruct is motivated by our proposed diffusion expansion theory of t…

Untie the Knots: An Efficient Data Augmentation Strategy for Long-Context Pre-Training in Language Models

ACL 2025long

Large language models (LLM) have prioritized expanding the context window from which models can incorporate more information. However, training models to handle long contexts presents significant challenges. These include the scarcity of high-quality natural long-context data, the potential for perf…
