The paper introduces SPARK, a lightweight input‑conditioned controller that modulates only a few dominant channels in frozen Diffusion Transformer (DiT) based super‑resolution models. By predicting bounded per‑channel affine transformations for selected channels, SPARK improves reconstruction fidelity and perceptual quality without fine‑tuning the backbone or adding adapters. Experiments on three DiT‑based SR backbones across DIV2K, RealSR, and DRealSR demonstrate consistent gains while modulating only eight channels per stream and block.

FreeTransformSR is a lightweight image super‑resolution network that uses a channel‑wise free low‑rank learnable transform to adaptively modulate features with minimal parameters. It adds a local feature modulation branch with depthwise convolution and a soft complexity adaptive module that fuses local convolution and window self‑attention based on texture characteristics. The model also employs an adaptive intensity modulation strategy and achieves competitive PSNR/SSIM on five benchmark datasets while using only 595K parameters and running faster than competing methods.

arXiv:2606. 12987v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Action-conditioned world models let an autonomous vehicle predict future camera scenes from its own planned controls, enabling planning and simulation without real-world rollouts, but at compact, trainable scale the futures are ambiguous and the field's standard distortion metrics actively mislead: they reward a blurry regression mean over a realistic prediction.
