arXiv:2606. 14765v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Self-supervised video representation learning has recently advanced through contrastive learning, masked reconstruction, and predictive representation learning.
Latent video generation relies on autoencoders to define a compact space in which generative models operate. Although video autoencoder architectures have evolved substantially, their latent spaces are still optimized primarily for pixel-level reconstruction and provide limited high-level semantic organization.

The paper introduces LLMAE, a technique that transforms a pretrained decoder-only language model into a continuous text autoencoder by inserting a fixed-length latent bottleneck into its internal activations. Using a 270M Gemma 3 model with structured attention masks, LoRA adaptation, and KL regularization, LLMAE achieves near-perfect reconstruction of text sequences up to 1024 tokens. The authors further show that the resulting latent representation can be leveraged to train a latent text diffusion model for detailed image captioning, demonstrating downstream utility.

VIVAS is a new Vision‑Language Model pre‑training framework that addresses the lack of fine‑grained visual perception in existing VLMs. It introduces a unified token space and a dense‑structural‑semantic vision tokenizer that expands the textual vocabulary with visual tokens, enabling vision‑language unified autoregressive supervision over both visual details and linguistic content. Trained on 12.4 T tokens, VIVAS achieves state‑of‑the‑art results on 7 tasks and 39 multimodal benchmarks.
