1/n Introducing ReDi (Representation Diffusion): a new generative approach that leverages a diffusion model to jointly capture
– Low-level image details (via VAE latents)
– High-level semantic features (via DINOv2)🧵

🧵 Excited to share our latest work: FUTURIST - A unified transformer architecture for multimodal semantic future prediction, is accepted to #CVPR2025! Here's how it works (1/n)

tl;dr: SigLIP rules. Lots of ablations

EQ-VAE: Such a simple & cool trick to regularize multiple kinds of autoencoders: align reconstruction of transformed latents w/ the corresponding transformed inputs.
🚀REPA: 4x training speedup
🚀MaskGIT: 2x training speedup
🚀DiT-XL/2: 7x faster convergence

Kudos @nicolabourbaki.bsky.social et al.

1/n🚀If you’re working on generative image modeling, check out our latest work! We introduce EQ-VAE, a simple yet powerful regularization approach that makes latent representations equivariant to spatial transformations, leading to smoother latents and better generative models.👇

For PhD and MSc students interested in a research visit to Prague/VRG in 2025: we're open to hosting short-term collaborations or internships on a range of computer vision topics. If this sounds exciting, reach out by e-mail! We'd love to discuss potential projects. Some examples 🧵
