Diffusion models have strong generative capabilities. However, their maximum likelihood training objective only focuses on reconstructing the data distribution, making it difficult to align with specific preferences.
We study the problem of sampling from target distributions whose potentials are simultaneously non-smooth, subject to superlinear gradient growth, and non-convex. We introduce the Subgradient Tamed Unadjusted Langevin Algorithm (SG-TULA), a discretisation of the Langevin diffusion that operates directly on subgradients, without relying on computationally demanding smoothing procedures.
Sample-efficient policy learning from pixels is a long-standing challenge in reinforcement learning (RL). Recent dynamics-based representation learning methods have significantly improved the sample efficiency of model-free visual RL by learning dynamics-aware representations through auxiliary prediction performed either in latent space (self-prediction) or observation space (observation prediction).
Physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) often fail to accurately resolve partial differential equations (PDEs) with high-frequency or multi-scale solutions, as well as strongly nonlinear problems. Two factors underlie this difficulty: spectral bias, the tendency of neural networks to underfit high-frequency features; and representation-coefficient coupling, the entanglement of representation learning and coefficient fitting within a single nonconvex optimization objective.
Text-to-image diffusion transformers learn about objects and scenes by learning to generate them, making them strong candidates for training-free zero-shot open-vocabulary semantic segmentation. State-of-the-art attribution methods score each pixel independently, comparing its features against a fixed text-derived class representation, whether as an output-space similarity or as a cross-attention weight.
Pixel-space generative models bypass lossy latent compression, yet necessitate joint learning of global structure and fine-grained details in a high-dimensional space. Standard flow matching interpolates noise toward a fixed clean-image endpoint, leaving the spectral evolution to be learned implicitly.
Recent advances in generative video modeling have enabled diverse generation, reference-based synthesis, extension, and editing, but existing approaches often rely on fragmented task-specific models. A general model must distinguish heterogeneous target, source, and reference signals to determine what to generate, preserve, or use as guidance, while reducing interference among tasks.
Real-time long-form avatar audio--video generation requires causal, continuous synthesis while maintaining audiovisual synchronization and visual consistency. Adapting a pretrained bidirectional model to this setting presents two key dilemmas.
We propose DOME-HDR, a dual-output multi-exposure HDR reconstruction framework that jointly produces a perceptually balanced SDR image and a consistent HDR image via gain map inverse tone mapping. Given three bracketed LDR inputs, DOME-HDR first synthesizes a base SDR using a LoRA-adapted latent diffusion model.
Flow-based generative models are typically sampled by solving a deterministic ordinary differential equation (ODE), whereas online reinforcement learning requires stochastic rollouts for policy exploration and optimization. Existing GRPO methods for flow models therefore replace the inference-time ODE with a stochastic differential equation (SDE) during training.
