Text2Sign: A Single-GPU Diffusion Baseline for Text-to-Sign Language Video Generation

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

arXiv:2607. 13164v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Sign language is a primary communication channel for millions of Deaf and hard-of-hearing people, yet text-to-signer video generation remains costly because video diffusion models are expensive to train and evaluate.

Corpus Augmentation for Sign Language Translation via LLM-Guided Video Stitching

arXiv:2606. 11925v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Sign language translation (SLT) converts sign language video into spoken language text and holds significant promise for improving accessibility and enabling communication between signing and non-signing communities.

Inverting the Streaming-Diffusion Bottleneck: Video-Rate MLLM-Conditioned Edit Diffusion on a Consumer GPU

arXiv:2606. 05981v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Aggressive distillation of the diffusion U-Net inverts the per-frame bottleneck of real-time text-to-image pipelines: once the denoiser is a 4-step or 1-step distilled student, the text encoder becomes the critical path.

Token-Budget Distillation: Transferring Full-Token Semantics to Compressed Video Vision-Language Models

Token-Budget Distillation (TBD) is a parameter‑efficient fine‑tuning framework that adapts video vision‑language models to a fixed token budget. It freezes the pretrained backbone, updates only LoRA adapters, and incorporates FlashVID visual token compression. TBD uses a dual‑path teacher‑student design with full‑token supervision and compressed student optimization, enabling the student to recover full‑token semantics while remaining efficient under aggressive token reduction.
