PathRelax: Parallel-Path Relaxed Speculative Jacobi Decoding for Accelerating Auto-Regressive Text-to-Image Generation

The growing need for high-resolution image generation in autoregressive text-to-image models has resulted in extended token sequences, significantly increasing computational costs and inference times. However, existing state-of-the-art methods for accelerating autoregressive text-to-image models rely on chain-structured draft token sequences, leading to inefficient draft token search and limited acceptance lengths. To address this, we propose parallel-path cross-relaxed speculative Jacobi decoding (\textbf{PathSpec}), a novel framework that enhances efficiency through a multi-sequence draft tree structure. Our parallel-path speculative Jacobi decoding (\textbf{PathExplore}) expands the token search space, achieving a higher speedup ratio without sacrificing image quality. Additionally, we introduce cross-path relaxed verification (\textbf{PathRelax}) that exploits semantic similarities across sequences to further boost token acceptance rates. Evaluated on the Parti-Prompts, MSCOCO2017, and T2ICompBench datasets, our method achieves a speedup ratio of 4.14 $\times$, 3.95$\times$, and 4.18$\times$, respectively. Remarkably, PathExplore, without any relaxed sampling, outperforms relaxed sampling methods in the speedup ratio, such as GSD and LANTERN. Moreover, PathRelax's relaxation mechanism can be seamlessly integrated with other relaxation techniques, enabling further acceleration and providing an efficient solution for real-time text-to-image generation.

Property-Informed Diffusion-Based Text-to-Microstructure Generation

Designing 3D metamaterial microstructures that meet the intended functions remains a major challenge, as it typically requires domain expertise, iterative simulations, and extensive manual tuning. Existing work on inverse design that automatically generates microstructures based on desired target properties often suffers from limited design diversity and faces challenges in ensuring the physical feasibility of the generated structures. To address this issue, a property-informed diffusion-based network is proposed that enables the generation of 3D microstructures directly from textual descriptions. Unlike traditional property conditioning methods, our approach leverages rich guidance in terms of semantics and physical properties in the text input to support diverse structure synthesis. To enforce consistency between the generated structures and the target textual prompts, a dual alignment strategy is adopted, including contrastive text-structure alignment and test-time reward-guided alignment. Experimental results show that the model is capable of generating semantically meaningful and physically plausible structures across a wide range of material categories. Our approach has good potential for interactive microstructure design and opens up new directions for combining language-based interfaces with inverse material discovery.

Multimodal Skeleton-Based Action Representation Learning via Decomposition and Composition

Multimodal human action understanding is a significant problem in computer vision, with the central challenge being the effective utilization of the complementarity among diverse modalities while maintaining model efficiency. However, most existing methods rely on simple late fusion to enhance performance, which results in substantial computational overhead. Although early fusion with a shared backbone for all modalities is efficient, it struggles to achieve excellent performance. To address the dilemma of balancing efficiency and effectiveness, we introduce a self-supervised multimodal skeleton-based action representation learning framework, named Decomposition and Composition. The Decomposition strategy meticulously decomposes the fused multimodal features into distinct unimodal features, subsequently aligning them with their respective ground truth unimodal counterparts. On the other hand, the Composition strategy integrates multiple unimodal features, leveraging them as self-supervised guidance to enhance the learning of multimodal representations. Extensive experiments on the NTU RGB+D 60, NTU RGB+D 120, and PKU-MMD II datasets demonstrate that the proposed method strikes an excellent balance between computational cost and model performance.
