I am very proud to be part of this work led by @sudoRicheek and Pratik Chaudhari. In our new Science Robotics paper, we introduce F^3, Fast Feature Fields, moving beyond conventional optical-flow representations toward predictive event-based vision. science.org/doi/10.1126/scir…

If you're at ICML this week, stop by and chat with @_machc to learn about designing noise schedules for diffusion (Wed, 2:30PM, Hall A)
Introducing "Spectrally-Guided Diffusion Noise Schedules", accepted to #ICML2026! With @kiamada. We propose noise schedules that follow the power spectrum of each image, improving pixel diffusion quality and requiring fewer denoising steps. At test time, we conditionally sample the spectrum before generating the image. Denoising is conditioned on the spectrum, which allows manipulating properties like the amount of details, as the animations show.

I’m particularly appreciative of the support I’ve gotten from @CorinnaCortes, Katherine Chou, @ahfdc, @StephenWrage, Reuben Brigety, and more recently, my pre-doctoral scientific advisors, @kiamada and @WonderMicky.

Rethinking image representations for autoregressive generation! Our new Spectral Image Tokenizer works in the image spectrum, where the coarse-to-fine representation has a more natural sequential interpretation
Our new paper, "Spectral Image Tokenizer", is on arXiv! We train a tokenizer on DWT coefficients that enables autoregressive coarse-to-fine image generation, w/ applications to multiscale text-to-image, and text-guided editing. w/ @kiamada, @msuhail153 arxiv.org/abs/2412.09607

This was an amazing presentation by @erikjbekkers on equivariant neural fields and neural ideograms at the Equivision Workshop. I want to go and read all his 2024 papers now!
Looking forward to this! I'll talk about Neural Ideograms and Geometry-Grounded Representation Learning ... and cats and dogs and owls! Thank you @KostasPenn @CongyueD and co for organizing this! Excited to be part of the program!

An image reconstructive representation learning loss that keeps scaling !!! You know how MAE does not benefit well from XLarge data. Well, if you borrow lessons from autoregressive language modeling, you can learn from Billion images and get 84% on IN1K. W/ Apple ML colleagues.
Excited to share AIM 🎯 - a set of large-scale vision models pre-trained solely using an autoregressive objective. We share the code & checkpoints of models up to 7B params, pre-trained for 1.2T patches (5B images) achieving 84% on ImageNet with a frozen trunk. (1/n) 🧵
