From SRA to Self-Flow: Data Augmentation or Self-Supervision?
Representation alignment has become an effective way to accelerate diffusion transformer training and improve generation quality. Recent self-alignment methods, such as SRA and Self-Flow, further remove the dependency on external pretrained encoders by constructing alignment within the diffusion model itself. However, the mechanism behind the improvement from SRA to Self-Flow, dual-time scheduling, remains under-examined: Self-Flow attributes its gain to interactions between tokens at different noise levels, where cleaner tokens help infer noisier ones. In this work, we revisit this explanatio
From Draft to Draft-Free: One-Step Video Object Removal via Privileged Distillation and Fast Planting
Video object removal is a fundamental yet challenging task in video editing. Despite recent progress, existing methods typically fall into two categories. Traditional approaches based on optical flow or attention mechanisms often introduce noticeable artifacts and yield unnatural results. In contrast, diffusion-based methods improve visual realism but demand multiple denoising steps, limiting their practicality. To address these issues, we propose From-Draft-to-Draft-Free (D2DF), a framework that distills the ability of transforming coarse drafts into refined videos into a one-step video gener
