NAE: Normalizing AutoEncoder

arXiv:2608. 12084v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We consider the setting of Normalizing flows with approximate inverses, an established paradigm spanning both full-dimensional ($d=D$) and bottleneck ($d<D$) settings, and group these models under the term flow autoencoders.

From Alignment to Synthesis: Contrastive Volumetric Grounding for Text-to-CT Generation

The paper introduces a 3D-CLIP encoder trained with structured hard negatives to improve vision‑language alignment for text‑to‑CT generation. This encoder drives a latent diffusion model that operates directly in 3D latent space, eliminating spatial artifacts from super‑resolution pipelines. Experiments on the CT‑RATE dataset show state‑of‑the‑art image fidelity and factual correctness across 18 pathological conditions, with lower inference time and GPU memory usage than competing methods.
