Content-Adaptive Tokenizer (CAT): An Image Tokenizer that Adapts Token Count based on Image Complexity, Offering Flexible 8x, 16x, or 32x Compression

One of the major hurdles in AI-driven image modeling is the inability to account for the diversity in image content complexity effectively. The tokenization methods so far used are static compression ratios where all images are treated equally, and the complexities of images are not considered. Due to this reason, complex images get over-compressed and…

From Latent Spaces to State-of-the-Art: The Journey of LightningDiT

Latent diffusion models are advanced techniques for generating high-resolution images by compressing visual data into a latent space using visual tokenizers. These tokenizers reduce computational demands while retaining essential details. However, such models suffer from a critical challenge: increasing the dimensions of the token feature increases reconstruction quality but decreases image generation quality. It thus…
