Scene Graph Generation (SGG) unifies object localization and visual relationship reasoning by predicting boxes and subject-predicate-object triples. Yet most pipelines treat SGG as a one-shot, deterministic classification instead of a genuine progressive, generative task. We propose FlowSG, which recasts SGG as continuous-time transport on a hybrid discrete-continuous state: starting from a noised graph , the model progressively grows an image-conditioned scene graph through constraint-aware refinements that jointly synthesize nodes (objects) and edges (predicates). Specifically, we first leverage a VQ-VAE to quantize a scene graph (e.g., the continuous visual features) into compact, predictable tokens; a graph Transformer then (i) predicts a conditional velocity field to transport continuous geometry (boxes) and (ii) updates discrete posteriors for categorical tokens (object features and predicate labels), coupling semantics and geometry via flow-conditioned message aggregation. Training combines flow-matching losses for geometry with a discrete-flow objective for tokens, yielding few-step inference and plug-and-play compatibility with standard detectors/segmenters. Extensive experiments on VG and PSG under closed- and open-vocabulary protocols show consistent gains in predicate R/mR and graph-level metrics, validating the mixed discrete-continuous generative formulation over one-shot classification baselines, e.g., an average improvement of about 3 points over the SOTA USG-Par.

Fine-tuning large-scale text-to-video diffusion models to add new generative controls, such as those over physical camera parameters (e.g., shutter speed or aperture), typically requires vast, high-fidelity datasets that are difficult to acquire. In this work, we propose a data-efficient fine-tuning strategy that learns these controls from sparse, low-quality synthetic data. We show that not only does fine-tuning on such simple data enable the desired controls, it actually yields superior results to models fine-tuned on photorealistic "real" data. Beyond demonstrating these results, we provide a framework that justifies this phenomenon both intuitively and quantitatively.

Existing video frame interpolation (VFI) methods often adopt a frame-centric approach, processing videos as independent short segments (e.g., triplets), which leads to temporal inconsistencies and motion artifacts. To overcome this, we propose a holistic, video-centric paradigm named Local Diffusion Forcing for Video Frame Interpolation (LDF-VFI). Our framework is built upon an auto-regressive diffusion transformer that models the entire video sequence to ensure long-range temporal coherence. To mitigate error accumulation inherent in auto-regressive generation, we introduce a novel skip-concatenate sampling strategy that effectively maintains temporal stability. Furthermore, LDF-VFI incorporates sparse, local attention and tiled VAE encoding, a combination that not only enables efficient processing of long sequences but also allows generalization to arbitrary spatial resolutions (e.g., 4K) at inference without retraining. An enhanced conditional VAE decoder, which leverages multi-scale features from the input video, further improves reconstruction fidelity. Empirically, LDF-VFI achieves state-of-the-art performance on challenging VFI benchmarks, demonstrating superior per-frame quality and temporal consistency, especially in scenes with large motion.

Recent text-to-image (T2I) diffusion models produce visually stunning images and demonstrate excellent prompt following. But do they perform well as synthetic vision data generators? In this work, we revisit the promise of synthetic data as a scalable substitute for real training sets and uncover a surprising performance regression. We generate large-scale synthetic datasets using state-of-the-art T2I models released between 2022 and 2025, train standard classifiers solely on this synthetic data, and evaluate them on real test data. Despite observable advances in visual fidelity and prompt adherence, classification accuracy on real test data consistently declines with newer T2I models as training data generators. Our analysis reveals a hidden trend: These models collapse to a narrow, aesthetic-centric distribution that undermines diversity and real data distribution coverage. Overall, our findings challenge a growing assumption in vision research, namely that progress in generative realism implies progress in data realism. We thus highlight an urgent need to rethink the capabilities of modern T2I models as reliable training data generators.

Static benchmark-driven evaluation has provided a valuable foundation for analyzing Text-to-Image (T2I) models.However, the fixed and predetermined prompt sets in benchmarks inherently limit diagnostic depth, making it difficult to uncover the full landscape of models' systematic failures or isolate their root causes.We argue for a complementary paradigm: active exploration, and introduce FailureAtlas, the first framework designed to autonomously explore and map the vast failure landscapes of T2I models at scale.Unlike benchmarks that evaluate a fixed prompt set, FailureAtlas performs guided exploration in the input space, framing error discovery as a structured search for minimal, failure-inducing concepts. While this is a computationally explosive problem, we make it tractable with novel acceleration techniques. When applied to Stable Diffusion models, our method uncovers hundreds of thousands of previously unknown error slices (e.g., over 247,000 in SD1.5 alone) and provides the first large-scale evidence linking these failures to data scarcity in the training set. By providing a principled and scalable engine for deep model auditing, FailureAtlas establishes a new, diagnostic-first methodology to guide the development of more robust generative AI. The code is available at https://github.com/cure-lab/FailureAtlas.

Recently, generating 3D assets using visual priors from pretrained diffusion models has shown remarkable results. However, due to the inherent lack of 3D geometric priors in 2D diffusion, the synthesized results often suffer from spatial hallucination and multi-view inconsistency. To address this limitation, we propose Thoughtful3D, a novel framework that enhances 3D content generation quality by introducing structural chain-of-thought (CoT) reasoning to alleviate inconsistent issues and mitigate hallucinations. Specifically, we design a dual-phase structural CoT strategy: (1) 3DBlueprint-CoT explicitly plans the 3D generation process through textual semantic parsing and logical deduction during the initialization phase. (2) 3DRefine-CoT dynamically evaluates latent inconsistencies by analyzing multiple renderings, employing a multi-round iterative refinement mechanism to suppress hallucinations and enhance cross-view consistency. To further promote consistency across views, we propose a Cross-view Semantic Appearance Alignment strategy that enhances multi-view consistency by establishing dynamic geometric associations between the same features from different viewpoints. Extensive experiments demonstrate that Thoughtful3D significantly improves the quality and consistency of generated 3D assets.

Existing mobile devices are constrained by compact optical designs, such as small apertures, which make it difficult to produce natural, optically realistic bokeh effects. Although recent learning-based methods have shown promising results, they still struggle with photos captured under high digital zoom levels, which often suffer from reduced resolution and loss of fine details. A naive solution is to enhance image quality before applying bokeh rendering, yet this two-stage pipeline reduces efficiency and introduces unnecessary error accumulation. To overcome these limitations, we propose MagicBokeh, a unified diffusion-based framework designed for high-quality and efficient bokeh rendering. Through an alternative training strategy and a focus-aware masked attention mechanism, our method jointly optimizes bokeh rendering and super-resolution, substantially improving both controllability and visual fidelity. Furthermore, we introduce degradation-aware depth module to enable more accurate depth estimation from low-quality inputs. Experimental results demonstrate that MagicBokeh efficiently produces photorealistic bokeh effects, particularly on real-world low-resolution images, paving the way for future advancements in bokeh rendering.

Recently, multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have emerged as a unified paradigm for language and image generation. Compared with diffusion models, MLLMs possess a much stronger capability for semantic understanding, enabling them to process more complex textual inputs and comprehend richer contextual meanings. However, this enhanced semantic ability may also introduce new and potentially greater safety risks. Taking diffusion models as a reference point, we systematically analyze and compare the safety risks of emerging MLLMs along two dimensions: unsafe content generation and fake image synthesis. Across multiple unsafe generation benchmark datasets, we observe that MLLMs tend to generate more unsafe images than diffusion models. This difference partly arises because diffusion models often fail to interpret abstract prompts, producing corrupted outputs, whereas MLLMs can comprehend these prompts and generate unsafe content. For current advanced fake image detectors, MLLM-generated images are also notably harder to identify. Even when detectors are retrained with MLLMs-specific data, they can still be bypassed by simply providing MLLMs with longer and more descriptive inputs. Our measurements indicate that the emerging safety risks of the cutting-edge generative paradigm, MLLMs, have not been sufficiently recognized, posing new challenges to real-world safety.

Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) has emerged as a leading technique for efficiently fine-tuning text-to-image diffusion models, and its widespread adoption on open-source platforms has fostered a vibrant culture of model sharing and customization. However, the same modular and plug-and-play flexibility that makes LoRA appealing also introduces a broader attack sur-face. To highlight this risk, we propose Masquerade-LoRA (MasqLoRA), the first backdoor attack that leverages the LoRA mechanism to stealthily inject malicious behavior into text-to-image diffusion models. MasqLoRA operates by freezing the base model parameters and updating only the low-rank adapter weights using a small number of "trigger word-target image" pairs. This enables the attacker to train a standalone backdoor LoRA module that embeds a hidden cross-modal mapping: when the module is loaded and a specific textual trigger is provided, the model produces a predefined visual output; other-wise, it behaves indistinguishably from the clean model, ensuring the stealthiness of the attack. Experimental results demonstrate that MasqLoRA can be trained with minimal resource overhead and achieves a high attack success rate of 99.8%. MasqLoRA reveals a severe and unique threat in the AI supply chain, underscoring the urgent need for dedicated defense mechanisms for the LoRA-centric sharing ecosystem.

RewardFlow is a zero-shot, training-free framework for text-guided image editing and generation based on reward-guided Langevin dynamics. We steer pretrained diffusion and flow-matching models at inference time using a diverse set of differentiable rewards, and control their influence with a prompt-aware adaptive policy that parses the text instruction, infers edit intent, and dynamically adjusts update steps. Our design includes a differentiable VQA-based reward for fine-grained semantic supervision and a SAM-guided reward for precise, localized edits with minimal leakage. Across standard image editing and compositional generation benchmarks, RewardFlow achieves state-of-the-art zero-shot edit fidelity and compositional alignment.

In this paper, we propose Iris, a deterministic framework for Monocular Depth Estimation (MDE) that integrates real-world priors into the diffusion model. Conventional feed-forward methods rely on massive training data, yet still miss details. Previous diffusion-based methods leverage rich generative priors yet struggle with synthetic-to-real domain transfer. Iris, in contrast, preserves fine details, generalizes strongly from synthetic to real scenes, and remains efficient with limited training data. To this end, we introduce a two-stage Priors-to-Geometry Deterministic (PGD) schedule: the prior stage uses Spectral-Gated Distillation (SGD) to transfer low-frequency real priors while leaving high-frequency details unconstrained, and the geometry stage applies Spectral-Gated Consistency (SGC) to enforce high-frequency fidelity while refining with synthetic ground truth. The two stages share weights and are executed with a high-to-low timestep schedule. Extensive experimental results confirm that Iris achieves significant improvements in MDE performance with strong in-the-wild generalization.

We introduce an efficient, resolution-agnostic autoregressive (AR) image synthesis approach that generalizes to arbitrary resolutions and aspect ratios, narrowing the gap to diffusion models at scale. At its core is VibeToken, a novel resolution-agnostic 1D Transformer-based image tokenizer that encodes images into a dynamic, user-controllable sequence of 32-256 tokens, achieving a state-of-the-art efficiency and performance trade-off. Building on VibeToken, we present VibeToken-Gen, a class-conditioned AR generator with out-of-the-box support for arbitrary resolutions while requiring significantly fewer compute resources. Notably, VibeToken-Gen synthesizes 1024x1024 images using only 64 tokens and achieves 3.94 gFID; by comparison, a diffusion-based state-of-the-art alternative requires 1,024 tokens and attains 5.87 gFID. In contrast to fixed-resolution AR models such as LlamaGen - whose inference FLOPs grow quadratically with resolution ( 11T FLOPs at 1024x1024) - VibeToken-Gen maintains a constant 179G FLOPs (63.4x efficient) independent of resolution. We hope VibeToken can help unlock the wide adoption of AR visual generative models in production use cases. Project page: https://github.com/SonyResearch/VibeToken

Diffusion policies have emerged as a powerful paradigm for robot learning, but their inherent multi-modality can lead to a diverse set of plausible--though not always optimal--actions from a single observation. We posit that for a given task, an optimal action exists within this distribution. Inspired by negative prompting in generative models, we introduce a novel method that leverages an error detector to identify out-of-distribution (OOD) execution histories and uses them to construct negative action prompts. This allows our policy to steer away from suboptimal behaviors and converge towards higher-performance actions. We present a comprehensive ablation study demonstrating the effectiveness of positive, and negative prompts, and validate our approach on a suite of simulated benchmarks and real-world robotic tasks. Our results show that the proposed Negative-Prompt-guided Diffusion Policy achieves significant improvement in task performance by effectively filtering undesirable action modes.

Leveraging pre-trained Diffusion Transformers (DiTs) for high-resolution (HR) image synthesis often leads to spatial layout collapse and degraded texture fidelity. Prior work mitigates these issues with complex pipelines that first perform a base-resolution (i.e., training-resolution) denoising process to guide HR generation. We instead explore the intrinsic generative mechanisms of DiTs and propose ResDiT, a training-free method that scales resolution efficiently. We identify the core factor governing spatial layout, position embeddings (PEs), and show that the original PEs encode incorrect positional information when extrapolated to HR, which triggers layout collapse. To address this, we introduce a PE scaling technique that rectifies positional encoding under resolution changes. To further remedy low-fidelity details, we develop a local-enhancement mechanism grounded in base-resolution local attention. We design a patch-level fusion module that aggregates global and local cues, together with a Gaussian-weighted splicing strategy that eliminates grid artifacts. Comprehensive evaluations demonstrate that ResDiT consistently delivers high-fidelity, high-resolution image synthesis and integrates seamlessly with downstream tasks, including spatially controlled generation.

Narrative image generation aims to create images featuring multiple distinct characters while capturing their interrelationships, posing significant challenges for current text-to-image diffusion models. As a result, general personalized methods often suffer from poor semantic alignment, identity blending, and aesthetic implausibility.These issues are inadequately captured by existing evaluation metrics such as CLIP, ArcFace, and conventional reward models, which fundamentally fail to align with human perceptual preferences. To align with human preferences, we first construct a fine-grained human preference dataset, NI-RLHF, by collecting both detailed human critiques and preference judgments across three core dimensions: prompt following, identity consistency, and visual quality.This comprehensive dataset facilitates the training of NIReward, a critique-based reward model capable of generating interpretable image evaluations.Building upon the interpretable reward signal from NIReward, we propose Adaptive Dominance-based Preference Optimization (ADPO) to balance learning across diverse preference dimensions while dynamically adapting to reward margins.Experimental results indicate that NIReward significantly outperforms existing evaluation models and reward models, and ADPO yields a significant improvement across the three key preference dimensions. By introducing NIReward and ADPO, our work paves the way for generating narrative images aligned with actual human preferences.

Partially Supervised Multi-Task Learning (PS-MTL) aims to leverage knowledge across tasks when annotations are incomplete. Existing approaches, however, have largely focused on the simpler setting of homogeneous, dense prediction tasks, leaving the more realistic challenge of learning from structurally diverse tasks unexplored. To this end, we introduce NexusFlow, a novel, lightweight, and plug-and-play framework effective in both settings. NexusFlow introduces a set of surrogate networks with invertible coupling layers to align the latent feature distributions of tasks, creating a unified representation that enables effective knowledge transfer. The coupling layers are bijective, preserving information while mapping features into a shared canonical space. This invertibility avoids representational collapse and enables alignment across structurally different tasks without reducing expressive capacity.We first evaluate NexusFlow on the core challenge of domain-partitioned autonomous driving, where dense map reconstruction and sparse multi-object tracking are supervised in different geographic regions, creating both structural disparity and a strong domain gap. NexusFlow sets a new state-of-the-art result on nuScenes, outperforming strong partially supervised baselines. To demonstrate generality, we further test NexusFlow on NYUv2 using three homogeneous dense prediction tasks, segmentation, depth, and surface normals, as a representative N-task PS-MTL scenario. NexusFlow yields consistent gains across all tasks, confirming its broad applicability.

Explicit 3D representations have already become an essential medium for 3D simulation and understanding. However, the most commonly used point cloud and 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) each suffer from non-photorealistic rendering and significant degradation under sparse inputs. In this paper, we introduce Sparse to Dense lifting (S2D), a novel pipeline that bridges the two representations and achieves high-quality 3DGS reconstruction with minimal inputs. Specifically, the S2D lifting is two-fold. We first present an efficient one-step diffusion model that lifts sparse point cloud for high-fidelity image artifact fixing. Meanwhile, to reconstruct 3D consistent scenes, we also design a corresponding reconstruction strategy with random sample drop and weighted gradient for robust model fitting from sparse input views to dense novel views. Extensive experiments show that S2D achieves the best consistency in generating novel view guidance and first-tier sparse view reconstruction quality under different input sparsity. By reconstructing stable scenes with the least possible captures among existing methods, S2D enables minimal input requirements for 3DGS applications.

Generative data augmentation has created new opportunities for improving image recognition models. Despite these advances, most existing augmentation methods process images holistically, without accounting for the uneven distribution of discriminative information in classification tasks, where foreground subjects typically contain richer category-relevant signals than background context. Ignoring this imbalance can introduce unintended semantic shifts in generated samples, thereby weakening the model's ability to capture the intrinsic ontology of the target object. In fact, human perception operates in a similar manner: subject identity remains stable, while contextual variations are naturally tolerated as long as overall coherence is preserved. Inspired by this observation, we propose OntoAug, an ontology-oriented data augmentation framework that explicitly distinguishes between subject and environment. OntoAug separates foreground and background through structured layout control and guides diffusion models to generate samples with consistent subjects and diverse contextual variations. By explicitly introducing foreground masks and diverse background prompts during the generation process, the framework enhances both semantic fidelity and diversity in the synthesized data. Extensive experiments show that OntoAug achieves strong performance across multiple tasks, including image classification, few-shot learning, weakly supervised object localization (WSOL), and large vision-language model reasoning.

Recent advances in diffusion models and vision-language models (VLMs) have significantly enhanced the controllability of image editing. Methods like FlowEdit enable step-by-step editing along a visible, noise-free trajectory, where each intermediate result is a clear image, eliminating the need for full noise inversion. However, these approaches still operate in pixel space or VAE latent space, where intermediate outputs often suffer from visual artifacts, distortions, or unrealistic details--making reliable semantic evaluation difficult. Furthermore, they remain open-loop systems, applying static edits without feedback to guide or correct the editing process adaptively. We propose UniEdit-I, the first training-free, closed-loop image editing framework that operates entirely within the semantic latent space of a unified VLM by introducing an Understanding-Editing-Verifying (UEV) loop:(1) Understanding: parses the source image and editing instruction into a structured source prompt and a minimal target specification;(2) Editing: applies dynamic semantic offsets, with a configurable feedback weighting mechanism that adaptively modulates editing intensity based on real-time alignment feedback;(3) Verifying: leverages the VLM's own multimodal reasoning capability to evaluate the intermediate output along multiple semantic dimensions and trigger early stopping or refinement. By transforming the VLM from a post-hoc evaluator into an in-process conductor, UniEdit-I establishes the first semantics-driven, self-correcting closed-loop image editing pipeline. Evaluated on GEdit-Bench, UniEdit-I achieves state-of-the-art performance without any fine-tuning or architectural modifications, and even surpasses several large-scale pre-trained editors.
