Visual Information-Guided Parallel Decoding for Diffusion Multimodal Large Language Models

Visual Information-Guided Parallel Decoding for Diffusion Multimodal Large Language Models introduces the VIG‑Sampler, a method that prioritizes tokens for decoding based on their attention to image tokens and penalizes redundancy in image‑attention distributions. The approach aims to improve the quality of multimodal generation by selecting more informative tokens during diffusion decoding. Experiments on seven captioning and VQA benchmarks with three open‑source dMLLMs show that VIG‑Sampler outperforms the Info‑Gain Sampler by an average of 19.3 CIDEr points and achieves better COCO Caption results using only half as many decoding steps.

Adversarial Domain Prompt Tuning and Generation for Single Domain Generalization

Single domain generalization (SDG) aims to learn a robust model, which could perform well on many unseen domains while there is only one single domain available for training. One of the promising directions for achieving single-domain generalization is to generate out-of-domain (OOD) training data through data augmentation or image generation.

Inference-Time Optimization of Prompt Embeddings in Diffusion Models: A Comparison of sep-CMA-ES and Adam

The paper investigates inference‑time optimization of prompt embeddings for the Stable Diffusion XL Turbo model, comparing the gradient‑free Separable Covariance Matrix Adaptation Evolution Strategy (sep‑CMA‑ES) with the gradient‑based Adam optimizer. Using a weighted objective that blends LAION Aesthetic Predictor V2 and CLIPScore, the study evaluates 36 prompts under three weighting regimes (aesthetics‑only, balanced, alignment‑only). Across all settings, sep‑CMA‑ES consistently outperforms Adam in objective value, while also demonstrating favorable divergence metrics and lower compute and memory footprints, indicating its effectiveness as an inference‑time optimizer without requiring model fine‑tuning.
