arXiv:2506. 03096v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Contrastive language-image pre-training aligns features of text-image pairs in a common latent space via distinct encoders for each modality.

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.
