Diffusion transformer (DiT) research on image generation has converged to a single evaluation setup: class-conditional generation on ImageNet. While methods improve the FID and related metrics, it is increasingly unclear whether they reflect real progress in generative modeling.
Unified image restoration (UIR) aims to recover high-quality (HQ) content from low-quality (LQ) images with different degradations using a single model. Most recent methods adapt large pretrained text-to-image (T2I) latent diffusion models for their strong capacity and generative priors.
arXiv:2605. 20708v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Diffusion Transformers (DiTs) have become a de facto backbone of modern visual generation, and nearly every major axis of their design -- tokenization, attention, conditioning, objectives, and latent autoencoders -- has been extensively revisited.
arXiv:2608. 01298v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Diffusion Transformers (DiTs) have emerged as a core architecture in generative modeling due to their scalability and adaptability to multimodal tasks.
arXiv:2502. 10389v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Diffusion models (DMs) have become the leading choice for generative tasks across diverse domains.
arXiv:2605. 13974v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Diffusion Transformers (DiTs) and related flow-based architectures are now among the strongest text-to-image generators, yet the internal mechanisms through which prompts shape image semantics remain poorly understood.
arXiv:2607. 00927v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Diffusion Transformers (DiTs) have demonstrated impressive performance in image generation but suffer from substantial computational overhead and resource consumption.
arXiv:2606. 15796v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Mechanistic interpretability seeks to explain neural network behavior by decomposing model computations into interpretable features and circuits.
arXiv:2506. 14753v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Diffusion models are well known for their ability to generate a high-fidelity image for an input prompt through an iterative denoising process.
arXiv:2507. 09052v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Training data for class-conditional image synthesis often exhibit a long-tailed distribution with limited amount of images for tail classes.
Generative models have undergone many generations of evolution, from VAEs/GANs to diffusion/flow matching. Along the way, the underlying techniques have become more complicated and various beliefs about what drives strong empirical performance have taken hold.
arXiv:2506. 14202v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: End-to-end backpropagation requires storing activations throughout all layers, creating memory bottlenecks that limit model scalability.
arXiv:2606. 00094v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Image generative models aim to sample data points from the underlying data manifold, a task that requires learning and decoding a dense, low-dimensional, and compact parameterization space.
