Fortifying Fully Convolutional Generative Adversarial Networks for Image Super-Resolution Using Divergence Measures

arXiv:2404. 06294v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Super-Resolution (SR) is a time-hallowed image processing problem that aims to improve the quality of a Low-Resolution (LR) sample up to the standard of its High-Resolution (HR) counterpart.

Equilibrium Forcing: Adaptive Video Generation Without Noise Conditioning

arXiv:2608. 14706v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Standard autoregressive video generation algorithms based on Diffusion and Flow Matching rely on rigid training objectives and static sampling schedules, limiting inference procedures from adapting to the data.

Beyond Random Couplings: Contrastive Noise Alignment in Generative Flows

The paper introduces Contrastive Noise Alignment (CNA), a training-time method for generative flow models that dynamically aligns Gaussian noise with data samples using a cross-modal InfoNCE objective. By modeling noise as an interacting particle system and regularizing with angular entropy and radial norm penalties, CNA reduces arbitrary data-noise couplings and flow curvature. Empirical results show that CNA improves generation quality, lowering FID by over 50% for few-step pixel-space generation compared to standard rectified flow and outperforming optimal transport baselines by at least 24%.

Self-Consistent Flow: Unifying Velocity and Endpoint Prediction for Rectified Flow Models

In rectified-flow-based generative models, the neural network can be trained to predict two different targets, such as the instantaneous velocity or the data endpoint, to perform denoising. Although prior work shows that these parameterizations lead to different empirical behaviors, the mechanisms underlying their respective advantages remain to be underexplored, and how to combine them effectively is still unclear.
