To reduce deployment cost and retraining overhead, adapting pretrained learned image compression (LIC) models to downstream machine vision tasks has attracted growing attention. However, existing meth...
arXiv:2606. 01503v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Unified vision-language models (VLMs) integrate visual understanding and visual generation within a single autoregressive backbone, but their joint training is computationally expensive and largely overlooked from an efficiency perspective.

LoopVAE introduces a recurrent depth architecture that reuses a scale‑ and loop‑conditioned core across different spatial scales while keeping resolution‑changing transitions separate. The four‑block core applies 28 block operations per encoder or decoder, enabling a 29M‑parameter convolutional model to achieve 0.28 rFID and 32.54 dB PSNR on ImageNet‑256 with roughly 65% fewer parameters than comparable VAEs. Experiments with both convolutional and Transformer operators, as well as ablations on parameter sharing, demonstrate competitive image quality metrics and reveal how targeted loop interventions and truncation affect reconstruction quality and computational trade‑offs.
