TL;DR

To generate an image, JoLT uses two streams that jointly denoise LR and HR latent images at each sampling step, and interconnect both branches to jointly integrate their information.

Abstract

Although text-to-image generative models produce impressive results, they struggle to generate densely detailed, high-resolution (HR) images. Current literature addresses this issue with a low-to-high-resolution approach. First, a low-resolution (LR) image is generated. Then, an upsampled version is generated using the LR image as an additional cue. In this paper, we present Joint Latent Trajectories (JoLT). To generate an image, JoLT uses two streams that jointly denoise LR and HR latent images at each sampling step. The LR latent controls the overall layout, while the HR latent controls the details. We interconnect both branches to jointly integrate their information. We extensively validate our method, demonstrating its advantages over competing baselines. The resulting images are not only richly detailed but also visually pleasing, opening new avenues for artistic creation.

PreviewDiff: Multimodal Critic-Guided Search over Diffusion Latents

Diffusion models can produce striking images and videos, but they still struggle with the compositional details that make a generation faithful to a prompt, such as object counts, attribute binding, spatial relations, and temporally grounded actions. A common way to improve prompt satisfaction is to spend more compute...

This work proposes Hybrid-Policy Self-Distillation (HPSD), a novel self-distillation framework where a single TI2V model acts as both teacher and student under different conditions: the teacher operates in TI2V mode with a high-quality first frame and an enhanced prompt, while the student runs in the base T2V mode with...

VISTA: Test-Time Compositional Alignment for Visual Autoregressive Generation

VISTA is the first gradient-based test-time alignment framework for next-scale autoregressive image generation, and introduces the mechanisms needed to make such optimization stable across scales, together with an extensible objective space that any differentiable constraint on cross-attention can plug into.

Model the Edit, Not the Image: Visual Autoregressive Editing from a Source-Centric Perspective

This work takes a source-centric perspective on VAR editing, in which the encoded source image tokens serve as the primary visual state and the editing process focuses on condition-induced changes, and proposes EditMod, which compares source- and target-conditioned predictions under a shared autoregressive context.
