Spanning Tree Autoregressive Visual Generation

Read the original on arXiv AI →

arXiv:2511. 17089v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We present Spanning Tree Autoregressive (STAR) modeling, which can incorporate prior knowledge of images, such as center bias and locality, to maintain sampling performance while also providing sufficiently flexible sequence orders to accommodate image editing at inference time.

Finite Difference Flow Optimization for RL Post-Training of Text-to-Image Models

arXiv:2603. 12893v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Reinforcement learning (RL) has become a standard technique for post-training diffusion-based image synthesis models, as it enables learning from reward signals to explicitly improve desirable aspects such as image quality and prompt alignment.
