dRAE: Representation Autoencoder with Hyper-Spherical Codes
Tianren Ma, Lin Long, Chuyan Chen, Mu Zhang, Junbo Zhao, Tong Zhang, et al.
In this work, we aim to discretize the high-dimensional visual representations to bridge the gap with language models - a non-trivial challenge, as existing quantization methods suffer from codebook collapse, failing to scale while preserving semantic coherence. We identify the r…
