arXiv:2607. 28760v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: As image generation models scale to ever higher resolutions, global coherence, local detail, and texture fidelity become critical axes for generation quality.
Pixel-space generative models bypass lossy latent compression, yet necessitate joint learning of global structure and fine-grained details in a high-dimensional space. Standard flow matching interpolates noise toward a fixed clean-image endpoint, leaving the spectral evolution to be learned implicitly.
The paper introduces a Focal Log-Frequency Loss (f-loss) to counteract the spectral imbalance in pixel-space flow matching, where low frequencies dominate training. By balancing learning signals across frequencies and combining early frequency-domain supervision with later pixel-space refinement, the method accelerates convergence by up to 40% and improves FID and perceptual fidelity across multiple model scales. It requires no architectural changes and can replace existing flow matching losses as a drop‑in solution.

arXiv:2608. 00111v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Image restoration quality can be evaluated along three complementary facets: pixel-level fidelity, human perception, and downstream machine preference.
Most existing extreme compression methods fail to achieve an optimal rate-distortion-perception trade-off, as they typically prioritize perceptual fidelity and visual realism over pixel-level accuracy. Consequently, the resulting reconstructions often deviate noticeably from the originals.
