We propose importance-aware pruning for diffusion models, a training-free framework that prioritizes preserving parameters critical to semantically salient image regions. To do so, we incorporate spatial importance maps -- derived from conditioning signals or model attention -- i…
Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) are typically designed under the assumption that all modalities available during training will also be accessible at inference. However, many real-world settings violate this assumption, requiring models to operate under a privileged modal…
Photorealistic 3D face avatars are increasingly deployed as reusable digital assets across applications such as telepresence, animation, and personalized media. At the same time, vision-language models (VLMs) can infer sensitive attributes from rendered images with open-ended sem…
The softmax activation in multihead attention (MHA) is the de facto standard for attention-based models in visual perception tasks. However, standard softmax can produce noisy attention patterns that dilute relevant features and degrade its performance. In this paper, we propose…
Going beyond predicting robot actions, World Action Models (WAMs) can also generate future visual observations. We build on this generative capability to propose Recurrent Generative Replay (REGEN), a continual imitation learning framework that synthesizes pseudo-replay trajector…
