arXiv:2608. 09385v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Generative AI models are primarily designed to imitate the data distribution, an objective that neither corrects diversity lost by a learned generator nor defines how generation should extend beyond the diversity of the data itself.

arXiv:2607. 02637v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent generative models can produce high-quality synthetic images, offering scalable training training data for data-hungry models.
By Disheng Liu, Tuo Liang, Chaoda Song, Yu Yin
Recent advances in Diffusion Transformers (DiTs) have enabled remarkable progress in visual synthesis, benefiting from their superior scalability. To facilitate DiTs' capability of capturing meaningful internal representations, recent works such as REPA incorporate external pretrained encoders for representation alignment.
arXiv:2603. 27044v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) is widely recognized as sample-inefficient, a limitation attributable in part to the high dimensionality and substantial functional redundancy inherent to the policy parameter space.

arXiv:2607. 04733v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Supervised fine-tuning (SFT) is the standard approach for adapting pretrained language models to downstream domains, yet it often improves target-domain behavior at the cost of degrading pre-existing capabilities.
By Yueyang Wang, Baolong Bi, Shuo Lu, Jingyuan Zhang
arXiv:2607. 02291v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Conventional reinforcement learning strategies for visual generation typically employ sample-wise reward functions, yet this practice frequently results in reward hacking that degrades image diversity and introduces visual anomalies.
