Abstract

Identifying which visual interventions interact in a vision-language model requires comparing their joint and separate effects. The resulting four-output difference can be small enough for rounding error to obscure it. We introduce the Finite Interaction Lens (FIL), a mixed-precision method for evaluating finite intervention families. At each selected linear projection, FIL decomposes each candidate's input into a native state, two single-intervention components, and a full-dimensional mixed residual. It projects the single-intervention components at higher precision and reuses the same numerical contributions in the joint candidates, while retaining every mixed residual and nonlinear trajectory. We derive a local cancellation identity and a conditional bound on error propagation through a smooth nonlinearity. In one MLP of Qwen3-VL-4B-Instruct, FIL reduces final interaction MSE by 94.4% on 16 synthetic families and by 99.85% and 99.35% in two separate four-image COCO studies, relative to a control that has the same nominal BF16-product budget and higher-precision single interventions but projects each joint candidate independently. One image accounts for most of the absolute gain in each COCO study. Higher-accuracy multi-product BF16 arithmetic on all candidates gives lower aggregate error at similar total query times. Single-product BF16 already recovers the reference choices in both candidate-selection tasks we tested. On these development inputs, FIL improves interaction fidelity at a fixed nominal precision budget. Its practical value depends on a task that needs the extra fidelity.

FiTv2: Scalable and Improved Flexible Vision Transformer for Diffusion Model

\textit{Nature is infinitely resolution-free}. In the context of this reality, existing diffusion models, such as Diffusion Transformers, often face challenges when processing image resolutions outside of their trained domain. To address this limitation, we conceptualize images as sequences of tokens with dynamic sizes, rather than traditional methods that perceive images as fixed-resolution grids. This perspective enables a flexible training strategy that seamlessly accommodates various aspect ratios during both training and inference, thus promoting resolution generalization and eliminating biases introduced by image cropping. On this basis, we present the \textbf{Flexible Vision Transformer} (FiT), a transformer architecture specifically designed for generating images with \textit{unrestricted resolutions and aspect ratios}. We further upgrade the FiT to FiTv2 with several innovative designs, includingthe Query-Key vector normalization, the AdaLN-LoRA module, a rectified flow scheduler, and a Logit-Normal sampler. Enhanced by a meticulously adjusted network structure, FiTv2 exhibits $2\times$ convergence speed of FiT. When incorporating advanced training-free extrapolation techniques, FiTv2 demonstrates remarkable adaptability in both resolution extrapolation and diverse resolution generation. Additionally, our exploration of the scalability of the FiTv2 model reveals that larger models exhibit better computational efficiency. Furthermore, we introduce an efficient post-training strategy to adapt a pre-trained model for the high-resolution generation. Comprehensive experiments demonstrate the exceptional performance of FiTv2 across a broad range of resolutions. We have released all the codes and models at https://github.com/whlzy/FiT to promote the exploration of diffusion transformer models for arbitrary-resolution image generation.

Double-Diffusion: Balancing Speed, Accuracy, and Uncertainty in Probabilistic Forecasting for Urban Sensor Networks

Urban sensor networks need forecasts that are accurate, carry useful uncertainty, and refresh fast enough to act on as new readings arrive. These goals conflict: deterministic models give no distribution, while diffusion forecasters model uncertainty but denoise from pure noise over many steps. We present Double-Diffusion, which integrates a closed-form graph-heat prior into a denoising diffusion model. The prior is a parameter-free low-pass forecast over the sensor graph, and it serves two roles: it is the residual target the model generates, and it conditions the denoiser. The reverse process therefore starts near the prior and denoises a short warm-started chain instead of synthesizing from pure noise; the name denotes this composition, a graph diffusion feeding a denoising diffusion. A compact denoiser, DD-Net, is trained as a Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Model (DDPM) in the Resfusion warm-start formulation, so generation refines the prior over a short truncated chain rather than synthesizing from pure noise; a graph-spectral read-out of the prior residual sets its switchable spatial filter per domain from training data alone. On four real-world air quality and traffic networks, Double-Diffusion attains the best CRPS of all probabilistic methods on every dataset and stays competitive in point accuracy with the strongest baselines, at a fraction of the sampling cost of from-noise diffusion. The code is available at: https://github.com/teddyicare/Double-Diffusion

Optimized Weight Initialization on the Stiefel Manifold for Deep ReLU Neural Networks

Stable and efficient training of ReLU networks with large depth is highly sensitive to weight initialization. Improper initialization can cause permanent neuron inactivation dying ReLU and exacerbate gradient instability as network depth increases. Methods such as He, Xavier, and orthogonal initialization preserve variance or promote approximate isometry. However, they do not necessarily regulate the pre-activation mean or control activation sparsity, and their effectiveness often diminishes in very deep architectures. This work introduces a semi-orthogonal initialization specifically optimized for ReLU by solving an optimization problem on the Stiefel manifold, thereby preserving scale and calibrating the pre-activation statistics from the outset. A family of closed-form solutions and an efficient sampling scheme are derived. Theoretical analysis at initialization shows that the proposed initialization mitigates dying ReLU, slows the decay of activation variance, and alleviates gradient vanishing, thereby stabilizing signal and gradient flow in deep architectures. Empirically, across MNIST, Fashion-MNIST, multiple tabular datasets, few-shot settings, and ReLU-family activations, the proposed initialization maintains stable performance as network depth increases, with particularly clear advantages in few-shot learning and large-depth settings.
