WavFlow: Audio Generation in Waveform Space

Modern audio generation predominantly relies on latent-space compression, introducing additional complexity and potential information loss. In this work, we challenge this paradigm with WavFlow, a framework that generates high-fidelity audio directly in raw waveform space without intermediate representations. To overcome the inherent difficulties of modeling high-dimensional and low-energy signals, we reshape audio into 2D token grids through waveform patchify and introduce amplitude lifting to align signal scales, enabling stable optimization via direct x-prediction in flow matching. To capture complex semantic alignment and temporal synchronization, we leverage an automated data pipeline to curate 5 million high-quality video-text-audio triplets, allowing the model to learn fine-grained acoustic patterns from scratch. Experimental results show that WavFlow achieves competitive performance on the video-to-audio benchmark VGGSound (FD_PaSST: 59.98, IS_PANNs: 17.40, DeSync: 0.44) and the text-to-audio benchmark AudioCaps (FD_PANNs: 10.63, IS_PANNs: 12.62), matching or exceeding the performance of established latent-based methods. Our work demonstrates that intermediate compression is not a prerequisite for high-quality synthesis, offering a simpler and more scalable alternative for multimodal audio generation.

CtrlFormer: Learning Transferable State Representation for Visual Control via Transformer

Transformer has achieved great successes in learning vision and language representation, which is general across various downstream tasks. In visual control, learning transferable state representation that can transfer between different control tasks is important to reduce the training sample size. However, porting Transformer to sample-efficient visual control remains a challenging and unsolved problem. To this end, we propose a novel Control Transformer (CtrlFormer), possessing many appealing benefits that prior arts do not have. Firstly, CtrlFormer jointly learns self-attention mechanisms between visual tokens and policy tokens among different control tasks, where multitask representation can be learned and transferred without catastrophic forgetting. Secondly, we carefully design a contrastive reinforcement learning paradigm to train CtrlFormer, enabling it to achieve high sample efficiency, which is important in control problems. For example, in the DMControl benchmark, unlike recent advanced methods that failed by producing a zero score in the "Cartpole" task after transfer learning with 100k samples, CtrlFormer can achieve a state-of-the-art score with only 100k samples while maintaining the performance of previous tasks. The code and models are released in our project homepage.

CycleMLP: A MLP-like Architecture for Dense Prediction

This paper presents a simple MLP-like architecture, CycleMLP, which is a versatile backbone for visual recognition and dense predictions. As compared to modern MLP architectures, e.g., MLP-Mixer, ResMLP, and gMLP, whose architectures are correlated to image size and thus are infeasible in object detection and segmentation, CycleMLP has two advantages compared to modern approaches. (1) It can cope with various image sizes. (2) It achieves linear computational complexity to image size by using local windows. In contrast, previous MLPs have $O(N^2)$ computations due to fully spatial connections. We build a family of models which surpass existing MLPs and even state-of-the-art Transformer-based models, e.g., Swin Transformer, while using fewer parameters and FLOPs. We expand the MLP-like models' applicability, making them a versatile backbone for dense prediction tasks. CycleMLP achieves competitive results on object detection, instance segmentation, and semantic segmentation. In particular, CycleMLP-Tiny outperforms Swin-Tiny by 1.3% mIoU on ADE20K dataset with fewer FLOPs. Moreover, CycleMLP also shows excellent zero-shot robustness on ImageNet-C dataset. Code is available at https://github.com/ShoufaChen/CycleMLP.
