Harnessing Intrinsic Subject-Aware Attention for Controllable Multi-Subject Video Generation

The paper tackles two main issues in multi-subject video generation—uncontrollable fidelity strength and semantic drift—by studying Diffusion Transformers (DiTs). It discovers that certain attention blocks naturally create an Intrinsic Spatial Grounding Map (ISGM) that accurately locates reference subjects. Leveraging this insight, the authors introduce Dual-phase Intrinsic Attention Leveraging (DIAL), which uses ISGM during low-noise stages to control fidelity strength without retraining and during high-noise stages to generate preference pairs for reinforcement learning, thereby anchoring attention and reducing semantic drift. Experiments on the OpenS2V-Eval benchmark show that DIAL outperforms baseline models, improving identity consistency and enabling controllable fidelity strength.

Harnessing Intrinsic Subject-Aware Attention for Controllable Multi-Subject Video Generation

The paper tackles two main issues in multi‑subject video generation—uncontrollable fidelity strength and semantic drift—by exploiting intrinsic attention patterns in Diffusion Transformers. It introduces an Intrinsic Spatial Grounding Map (ISGM) that accurately locates reference subjects and a Dual‑phase Intrinsic Attention Leveraging (DIAL) framework that uses ISGM during both training and inference. DIAL guides attention in low‑noise stages for precise fidelity control and builds preference pairs in high‑noise stages for reinforcement learning, resulting in superior identity consistency and controllable fidelity on the OpenS2V‑Eval benchmark.

Step Back to Move Forward: Reflection-Aware Preference Optimization for Visual Generation

The paper introduces Reflection-Aware GRPO (RA‑GRPO), a reinforcement‑learning framework that aligns diffusion generative models with human preferences. It uses Diffusion Reflection to correct intermediate sampling paths by reversing the diffusion process, and Counterfactual Path Synthesis to embed these corrected trajectories into the policy, avoiding extra inference cost. Experiments on text‑to‑image and text‑to‑video models show RA‑GRPO outperforms existing methods, reducing reward hacking and improving generalization while remaining architecture‑agnostic.

ReFoCUS: Reinforcement-guided Frame Optimization for Contextual Understanding

arXiv:2506. 01274v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Recent progress in Large Multi-modal Models (LMMs) has enabled effective vision-language reasoning, yet the ability to video understanding remains constrained by suboptimal frame selection strategies, albeit with the rapid development of video-specialized LMMs.

CounterVid: Counterfactual Video Generation for Mitigating Action and Temporal Hallucinations in Video-Language Models

CounterVid introduces a scalable counterfactual video generation framework that creates videos differing only in actions or temporal structure while keeping scene context intact. The approach uses multimodal LLMs for action proposals and diffusion models for editing, producing a synthetic dataset of ~26k preference pairs for action recognition and sequence ordering. With the MixDPO optimization method, the authors demonstrate significant improvements in action recognition and temporal ordering on Qwen2.5‑VL and InternVL3 backbones, while maintaining overall video understanding.

HorizonComposer: Spatiotemporally Consistent Driving Video Editing with Enriched Traffic Semantics

HorizonComposer is a new instruction‑guided video editing framework that preserves traffic semantics in driving videos. It uses a hybrid dataset of real and synthetic edits, applies advantage conditioning with dense pixel‑level rewards during training, and introduces thinking frames to reduce temporal shock. Experiments show state‑of‑the‑art spatiotemporal consistency, improved content preservation, and gains in downstream road line segmentation and multi‑object detection.

ViSSFlow: Unifying Video-Conditioned Sound and Speech Generation via Joint Learning

ViSSFlow is a unified flow‑matching framework that jointly tackles Video‑to‑Sound (V2S) and Visual Text‑to‑Speech (VisualTTS) generation. It incorporates a Diffusion Transformer with a disentangled condition aggregation mechanism, using cross‑attention for semantic cues and self‑attention for dense visual information. The authors also introduce a feature‑level data synthesis strategy to compensate for limited joint training data, and demonstrate that a single model can be trained end‑to‑end without sacrificing performance on either task.
