Visual Implicit Autoregressive Modeling

Visual Autoregressive Modeling (VAR) based on next-scale prediction achieves strong generation quality, but their explicit deep stacks fix the amount of computation per scale and inflate memory at high resolutions. We introduce Visual Implicit Autoregressive Modeling (VIAR), a next-scale autoregressive generator that embeds an implicit equilibrium layer between shallow pre/post blocks. The implicit layer is trained with Jacobian-Free Backpropagation, yielding constant training memory, while inference exposes a per-scale iteration knob that enables compute control. On ImageNet 256x256 benchmark, VIAR attains FID 2.16, and sFID 8.07 with only 38.4% parameters of VAR, matching or surpassing strong AR baselines and remaining competitive with large diffusion models. By controlling the per-scale knob, VIAR can reduce peak memory from 19.24 GB to 8.53 GB and doubles throughput from 15.16 to 32.08 images/s on a single RTX 4090, without retraining. Ablations show that fewer steps are sufficient for fixed-point iterations to converge and that VIAR consistently dominates VAR across quality efficiency operating points. In zero shot in-painting and class-conditional editing, VIAR produces sharper details and smoother boundaries while preserving global structure, validating the benefits of implicit equilibria and per-scale compute control for practical, deployable visual generation.

Evaluating the Practicality of Learned Image Compression

Learned image compression has achieved extraordinary rate-distortion performance in PSNR and MS-SSIM compared to traditional methods. However, it suffers from intensive computation, which is intolerable for real-world applications and leads to its limited industrial application for now. In this paper, we introduce neural architecture search (NAS) to designing more efficient networks with lower latency, and leverage quantization to accelerate the inference process. Meanwhile, efforts in engineering like multi-threading and SIMD have been made to improve efficiency. Optimized using a hybrid loss of PSNR and MS-SSIM for better visual quality, we obtain much higher MS-SSIM than JPEG, JPEG XL and AVIF over all bit rates, and PSNR between that of JPEG XL and AVIF. Our software implementation of LIC achieves comparable or even faster inference speed compared to jpeg-turbo while being multiple times faster than JPEG XL and AVIF. Besides, our implementation of LIC reaches stunning throughput of 145 fps for encoding and 208 fps for decoding on a Tesla T4 GPU for 1080p images. On CPU, the latency of our implementation is comparable with JPEG XL.

GCN-MIF: Graph Convolutional Network with Multi-Information Fusion for Low-dose CT Denoising

Being low-level radiation exposure and less harmful to health, low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) has been widely adopted in the early screening of lung cancer and COVID-19. LDCT images inevitably suffer from the degradation problem caused by complex noises. It was reported that deep learning (DL)-based LDCT denoising methods using convolutional neural network (CNN) achieved impressive denoising performance. Although most existing DL-based methods (e.g., encoder-decoder framework) can implicitly utilize non-local and contextual information via downsampling operator and 3D CNN, the explicit multi-information (i.e., local, non-local, and contextual) integration may not be explored enough. To address this issue, we propose a novel graph convolutional network-based LDCT denoising model, namely GCN-MIF, to explicitly perform multi-information fusion for denoising purpose. Concretely, by constructing intra- and inter-slice graph, the graph convolutional network is introduced to leverage the non-local and contextual relationships among pixels. The traditional CNN is adopted for the extraction of local information. Finally, the proposed GCN-MIF model fuses all the extracted local, non-local, and contextual information. Extensive experiments show the effectiveness of our proposed GCN-MIF model by quantitative and visualized results. Furthermore, a double-blind reader study on a public clinical dataset is also performed to validate the usability of denoising results in terms of the structural fidelity, the noise suppression, and the overall score. Models and code are available at https://github.com/tonyckc/GCN-MIF_demo.

PO-ELIC: Perception-Oriented Efficient Learned Image Coding

In the past years, learned image compression (LIC) has achieved remarkable performance. The recent LIC methods outperform VVC in both PSNR and MS-SSIM. However, the low bit-rate reconstructions of LIC suffer from artifacts such as blurring, color drifting and texture missing. Moreover, those varied artifacts make image quality metrics correlate badly with human perceptual quality. In this paper, we propose PO-ELIC, i.e., Perception-Oriented Efficient Learned Image Coding. To be specific, we adapt ELIC, one of the state-of-the-art LIC models, with adversarial training techniques. We apply a mixture of losses including hinge-form adversarial loss, Charbonnier loss, and style loss, to finetune the model towards better perceptual quality. Experimental results demonstrate that our method achieves comparable perceptual quality with HiFiC with much lower bitrate.
