LongAlign: A Segment-Level Encoding Method to Enhance Long-Text to Image Generation

The rapid progress of text-to-image (T2I) diffusion models has made it possible to generate highly detailed and accurate images from text inputs. However, as the length of the input text increases, current encoding methods, such as CLIP (Contrastive Language-Image Pretraining), encounter various limitations. These methods struggle to capture the full complexity of long text descriptions,…

Latent Action Pretraining for General Action models (LAPA): An Unsupervised Method for Pretraining Vision-Language-Action (VLA) Models without Ground-Truth Robot Action Labels

Vision-Language-Action Models (VLA) for robotics are trained by combining large language models with vision encoders and then fine-tuning them on various robot datasets; this allows generalization to new instructions, unseen objects, and distribution shifts. However, various real-world robot datasets mostly require human control, which makes scaling difficult. On the other hand, Internet video data offers…

Meissonic: A Non-Autoregressive Mask Image Modeling Text-to-Image Synthesis Model that can Generate High-Resolution Images

Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated remarkable progress in natural language processing tasks, inspiring researchers to explore similar approaches for text-to-image synthesis. At the same time, diffusion models have become the dominant approach in visual generation. However, the operational differences between the two approaches present a significant challenge in developing a unified methodology for language…

Reinforcement Learning for Physics: ODEs and Hyperparameter Tuning | by Robert Etter | Oct, 2024

Working with ODEs Physical systems can typically be modeled through differential equations, or equations including derivatives. Forces, hence Newton’s Laws, can be expressed as derivatives, as can Maxwell’s Equations, so differential equations can describe most physics problems. A differential equation describes how a system changes based on the system’s current state, in effect defining state…
