The paper introduces InterIL, a joint generative model that simultaneously produces a background image and a layout of foreground elements for graphic design templates, addressing the limitations of sequential generation approaches. InterIL connects pretrained image and layout diffusion backbones via a learnable communication module, freezing the backbones to preserve prior knowledge while training only the interaction module. The model also offers a test‑time guidance strategy, enabling users to impose preferences without retraining, and demonstrates superior image, layout, and harmonization quality compared to previous methods.

Benchmarking deep learning (DL) models for multi-label classification (MLC) of remote sensing images (RSI) typically yields rankings that do not generalize beyond the evaluated datasets. In this work, we move beyond rankings by employing functional analysis of variance (fANOVA) to systematically quantify the contributions of individual design choices and their interactions to performance variability.
SenseNova-U1.5 is an 8B‑MoT native unified multimodal model that can understand, reason about, and generate visual content without using an encoder or VAE. It improves visual fidelity and text rendering through spatially coherent patch reconstruction, large‑scale training on curated generation and editing data, and native resolutions up to 4K. Post‑training, specialized experts for visual aesthetics, bilingual text rendering, infographic generation, and image editing are optimized and distilled into a multi‑expert framework, yielding advances in image fidelity, complex composition, multi‑reference editing, and instruction following.

Over the past decade, deep neural networks (DNNs) have achieved remarkable success on complex machine-learning tasks, yet the theoretical foundations of their performance remain incomplete. From a statistical viewpoint, a natural question is: can DNNs attain feature-learning and prediction consistency comparable to that of classical models?
The paper investigates why multimodal large language models (MLLMs) struggle with vision‑centric tasks when visual evidence conflicts with pretrained language knowledge. Using image reconstruction and a new WhatIfVis benchmark, the authors show that MLLMs preserve coarse‑grained visual attributes but fail to consistently use them, and that supervised fine‑tuning and activation patching can improve controllability of visual context sensitivity. The study demonstrates that the main bottleneck lies in the models’ inability to reliably regulate their reliance on visual evidence rather than in visual perception itself.

Swift-Image is a compact unified model that performs text-to-image generation, single-image editing, and multi-image editing using a 6B parameter DiT architecture. It employs a progressive training pipeline, parallel expert reinforcement learning, and multi-teacher distillation to balance diverse objectives, while a Prompt Enhancer decouples high-level reasoning from pixel-level rendering. After training, structural pruning and few-step distillation produce efficient 3B and accelerated variants that maintain near‑lossless performance and improve editing efficiency.
