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.

ContextAnyone is a context‑aware diffusion framework that treats a reference image as an explicitly preserved appearance anchor rather than a simple conditioning signal. By jointly reconstructing the reference image and generating the target video within a shared diffusion transformer, it provides direct supervision for maintaining identity and fine‑grained appearance throughout denoising. The method introduces asymmetric information flow and Gap‑RoPE positional representations to keep the reference stable while allowing selective access by video tokens, and demonstrates improved identity and appearance consistency on an OpenVid‑HD benchmark.
The article surveys how diffusion and flow-based generative models learn rich visual representations and how these representations can be used to improve generation and other perception tasks. It introduces a three-tier framework that categorizes work into improving generative quality via representation learning, extracting representations for perception, and developing unified applications. The survey covers downstream tasks such as image classification, dense prediction, instance-level perception, and annotation-scarce scenarios, offering a taxonomy and highlighting future research directions.

arXiv:2606. 09056v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Video generative models have become increasingly powerful, but long-range consistency remains challenging to achieve because even a few dozen frames require impractically long transformer sequence lengths.
arXiv:2606. 00583v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent diffusion transformers have demonstrated strong image synthesis capabilities but remain inefficient to train due to weak alignment between generative and discriminative representations.
BulletTime presents a 4D‑controllable video diffusion framework that separates scene dynamics from camera pose, allowing precise manipulation of both temporal and spatial aspects of generated videos. The model conditions on continuous world‑time sequences and camera trajectories, integrating them via a 4D positional encoding in the attention layer and adaptive normalizations for feature modulation. A specially curated dataset with independently parameterized temporal and camera variations is used for training, and the resulting system demonstrates robust real‑world 4D control while maintaining high generation quality and surpassing prior methods in controllability.
