Breaking the Lock-in: Diversifying Text-to-Image Generation via Representation Modulation

Recent text-to-image models built on large-scale Transformer backbones and flow-based objectives deliver strong text-image alignment and high visual quality, yet often produce overly similar samples under a fixed prompt. Existing diversity-enhancement methods alleviate this issue, but typically require expensive sampling or auxiliary optimization, incurring non-trivial overhead. To investigate the root cause of this homogeneity, we examine intermediate Transformer features and observe that the zero-frequency spatial average (DC) component rapidly converges across seeds early in generation, causing early trajectory lock-in that limits downstream variation. Building on this observation, we propose DC Attenuation for diVersity Enhancement (DAVE), a training-free representation-level intervention that selectively attenuates this component in the early regime. DAVE preserves the sampling pipeline with negligible overhead, improving prompt-consistent diversity while maintaining competitive image quality.

NestedFP: High-Performance, Memory-Efficient Dual-Precision Floating Point Support for LLMs

Meeting service-level objectives (SLOs) in Large Language Models (LLMs) serving is critical, but managing the high variability in load presents a significant challenge. Recent advancements in FP8 inference, backed by native hardware support, offer a potential solution: executing FP16 models by default, while switching to FP8 models during sudden load surges to achieve higher throughput at the cost of a slight quality degradation. Although this approach facilitates effective SLO management, it introduces additional memory overhead due to storing two versions of the same model. In response, this paper proposes NestedFP, an LLM serving technique that supports both FP16 and FP8 models in a memory-efficient manner by overlaying FP8 parameters onto FP16 parameters, allowing both models to share the same FP16 memory footprint. By leveraging a compact data format for the overlay and a specialized GEMM kernel optimized for this format, NestedFP ensures minimal degradation in both model quality and inference throughput across both FP8 and FP16 modes. NestedFP provides a flexible platform for dynamic, SLO-aware precision selection. The code is available at https://github.com/SNU-ARC/NestedFP.

Machine Learning-Based COVID-19 Patients Triage Algorithm using Patient-Generated Health Data from Nationwide Multicenter Database

A prompt severity assessment model of patients confirmed for having infectious diseases could enable efficient diagnosis while alleviating burden on the medical system. This study aims to develop a SARS-CoV-2 severity assessment model and establish a medical system that allows patients to check the severity of their cases and informs them to visit the appropriate clinic center based on past treatment data of other patients with similar severity levels. This paper provides the development processes of a severity assessment model using machine learning techniques and its application on SARS-CoV-2 patients. The proposed model is trained on a nationwide dataset provided by a Korean government agency and only requires patients' basic personal data, allowing them to judge the severity of their own cases. After modeling, the boosting-based decision tree model was selected as the classifier while mortality rate was interpreted as the probability score. The dataset was collected from all Korean citizens who were confirmed with COVID-19 between February, 2020 and July, 2021. The experiments achieved high model performance with an approximate precision of $0{\cdot}923$ and AUROC score of $0{\cdot}950$ [$95$% Tolerance Interval $0{\cdot}940$-$0{\cdot}958$, $95$% Confidence Interval $0{\cdot}949$-$0{\cdot}950$]. Moreover, our experiments identified the most important variables affecting the severity in the model via sensitivity analysis. The prompt severity assessment model for managing infectious people has been attained through using a nationwide dataset. It has demonstrated its superior performance by surpassing that of conventional risk assessments. With the model's high performance and easily accessible features, the triage algorithm is expected to be particularly useful when patients monitor their health status by themselves through smartphone applications.
