UniGP: Taming Diffusion Transformer for Prior-Preserved Unified Generation and Perception

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.

D3S2: Diffusion-Guided Dataset Distillation for Semantic Segmentation

The paper introduces D3S2, a diffusion‑guided dataset distillation framework tailored for semantic segmentation. It tackles long‑tailed class imbalance, pixel‑wise alignment, and high computational cost by first selecting class‑balanced masks and then synthesizing images with a pretrained diffusion model conditioned on those masks. Guided diffusion sampling further refines the data with segmentation‑consistency and class‑wise feature matching losses, achieving superior performance at a 1% compression rate on ADE20K and COCO‑Stuff.

Perceptually Regularized Diffusion Model for Image Super-Resolution

The paper introduces a perceptually regularized diffusion framework for image super‑resolution, adding perceptual‑loss based regularization to the standard diffusion training objective. This approach incorporates prior knowledge to improve training convergence and encourages the recovery of meaningful image features. Experiments on benchmark datasets show enhanced perceptual quality while maintaining competitive distortion metrics.
