Unlike diffusion-based models that operate in continuous latent spaces, autoregressive unified multimodal models produce images by sequentially predicting discretized visual tokens. These tokens are derived from a codebook that maps embeddings to quantized visual patterns.

Modern computer vision pipelines remain fragmented, with tasks such as text-to-image generation, editing, restoration, and classical perception handled by separate models. We study Unified Visual Generation (UVG), where a single model produces diverse image-valued outputs through a unified multimodal interface.

Diffusion Language Models (DLMs) have recently achieved substantial progress in natural language generation tasks. Recent research demonstrates that adaptive token generation ordering can significantly improve performance in mathematical reasoning and code synthesis applications.
arXiv:2606. 25034v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: General-purpose models often struggle to reliably identify and understand real-world multimodal risks, largely due to the inherent multimodal adversarial nature of content and AI safety.
arXiv:2608. 03733v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have achieved remarkable performance across vision-language tasks, but their progress depends heavily on large-scale, high-quality multimodal data that are costly to annotate.
arXiv:2608. 11907v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: As Large Vision-Language Models increasingly aim to integrate visual generation and understanding within a single parameter space, evaluating such structural unification in a cohesive manner remains a critical challenge.
Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have achieved remarkable performance across vision-language tasks, but their progress depends heavily on large-scale, high-quality multimodal data that are costly to annotate. Self-augmentation offers a promising alternative by enabling models to expand their own training data without external supervision.
arXiv:2608. 08676v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Semantic vision encoders have become a central visual interface for multimodal understanding and semantic conditioning in image generation.
arXiv:2608. 03284v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Ensuring safety and policy compliance in text-to-image diffusion models remains a critical challenge, as benign or adversarial prompts can often elicit prohibited content, e.
arXiv:2607. 22544v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Visual counterfactual explanations aim to answer "what minimal change to this image would flip the model's prediction?
As Large Vision-Language Models increasingly aim to integrate visual generation and understanding within a single parameter space, evaluating such structural unification in a cohesive manner remains a critical challenge. Current evaluation protocols predominantly treat generative and discriminative capabilities as separate tasks, leaving a gap in system-level evaluation for unified multimodal models (UMMs).
