PixelUMM is an encoder‑free model that unifies image and video understanding and generation directly in pixel space. It represents images as spatial patches and videos as spatiotemporal tubelets, feeding both through single‑layer linear projections into a shared multimodal backbone. The Mixture‑of‑Transformers architecture blends shared attention with task‑specific parameters, enabling autoregressive text prediction, pixel‑space flow matching, and clean‑pixel video generation, and experiments show competitive performance across tasks while providing design insights for future pixel‑space multimodal models.

The paper introduces AttWarp, a lightweight technique that uses a multimodal large language model’s cross‑modal attention to perform rectilinear warping of input images at test time. By reallocating spatial resolution toward query‑relevant regions without altering model weights or architecture, AttWarp preserves global context while making small objects and subtle relationships easier for the model to read. Experiments on five benchmarks and four MLLMs show consistent accuracy gains, improved compositional reasoning, and reduced hallucinations compared to baseline image‑manipulation methods.

arXiv:2606. 16799v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Existing vision-language model (VLM)-based AI-generated image quality assessment (AIGIQA) methods suffer from a fundamental semantic-distortion dimensional conflict: monolithic representations optimized for semantic discrimination inherently entangle compositional understanding with low-level perceptual sensitivity, rendering them blind to fine-grained quality degradations.
