We present Generative Anchored Fields (GAF), a generative model that learns independent endpoint predictors, $J$ (noise) and $K$ (data), from any point on a linear bridge. Unlike existing approaches that use a single trajectory or score…
Autoregressive image generation has seen recent improvements with the introduction of chain-of-thought and reinforcement learning. However, current methods merely specify "What" details to depict by rewriting the input prompt, yet…
Understanding the lip movement and inferring the speech from it is notoriously difficult for the common person. The task of accurate lip-reading gets help from various cues of the speaker and its contextual or environmental setting. Every…
Many operations on sensory data -- comparison, memory, retrieval, and reasoning -- are naturally expressed over discrete symbolic structures. In language this interface is given by tokens; in audio, it must be learned. Existing audio…
