Recent advances in diffusion models have shown impressive performance in controllable image generation and dense prediction tasks. However, existing approaches typically treat diffusion-based controllable generation and dense prediction as separate tasks, overlooking the potential benefits of jointly modeling the heterogeneous distributions.
arXiv:2607. 05319v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We study why diffusion autoencoders can achieve similar image quality while learning substantially different latent structures.
arXiv:2608.20515v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Generative video compression can recover rich visual details at low bitrates, but simultaneously achieving high temporal consistency and low inference...
arXiv:2607. 15693v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We describe a model of perceptual inference in primary visual cortex (V1) equivalent to a minimal diffusion model whose function can be readily understood from its parameters.
arXiv:2609.24919v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent advances in pixel-space diffusion models have narrowed the image quality gap with latent-space diffusion, but still converge more slowly and lag...
V-Co investigates visual co-denoising for pixel-space diffusion models, using a unified JiT-based framework to isolate key design choices. The study identifies two essential components: a dual-stream architecture with flexible cross-stream interaction and a perceptual-drifting hybrid loss combined with RMS-based feature rescaling for stronger semantic supervision. Experiments on ImageNet-256 demonstrate that V-Co surpasses baseline pixel-space diffusion and strong prior pixel-diffusion methods at comparable model sizes while requiring fewer training epochs.
arXiv:2607. 06856v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Prior work suggests that diffusion representations capture low-level geometry but struggle with high-level semantics.
arXiv:2509. 05441v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Latent generative models compress images into learned embeddings prior to synthesis, and the generation quality critically depends on how faithfully these embeddings preserve visual detail.
Digital zoom transitions between dual cameras often exhibit conspicuous discontinuities in geometric structure and chromatic consistency, degrading the user experience. While recent dual-camera smooth...
ZoomDiff is a high‑fidelity diffusion model designed to improve dual‑camera smooth zooming by producing photo‑realistic transitions. It strengthens dual‑image conditional guidance during denoising, injects flow‑aligned multi‑scale features from the VAE encoder into the decoder to recover high‑frequency details, and uses flow‑guided temporal consistency supervision to ensure smoother transitions. Experiments on synthetic and real‑world datasets show that ZoomDiff outperforms state‑of‑the‑art methods both quantitatively and qualitatively.
