NSARM: Next-Scale Autoregressive Modeling for Robust Real-World Image Super-Resolution
Most recent real-world image super-resolution (Real-ISR) methods employ pre-trained text-to-image (T2I) diffusion models to synthesize the high-quality image either from random Gaussian noise, which yields realistic results but is slow due to iterative denoising, or directly from the input low-quality image, which is efficient but at the price of lower output quality. These approaches train ControlNet or LoRA modules while keeping the pre-trained model fixed, which often introduces over-enhance…

The #sunspot show goes on: now activity region (1)4274 - which caused a major geostorm last month - has returned onto the disk with the new number (1)4299. And immediately fired off an X1.9 #SolarFlare today: see #SDO HMI image - https://jsoc1.stanford.edu/data/hmi/images/latest/HMI_latest_Int_4096x4096.gif - of 18:11 UTC, i.e. exactly an hour ago.

EditTrack: Detecting and Attributing AI-assisted Image Editing
In this work, we formulate and study the problem of image-editing detection and attribution: given a base image and a suspicious image, detection seeks to determine whether the suspicious image was derived from the base image using an AI editing model, while attribution further identifies the specific editing model responsible. Existing methods for detecting and attributing AI-generated images are insufficient for this problem, as they focus on determining whether an image was AI-generated/edit…

10 years ago today I exited my own company to go all-in on digital accessibility as a solo consultant.
I spent my afternoon in the office getting dizzy. I was also the only one there.

ImageDoctor: Diagnosing Text-to-Image Generation via Grounded Image Reasoning
The rapid advancement of text-to-image (T2I) models has increased the need for reliable human preference modeling, a demand further amplified by recent progress in reinforcement learning for preference alignment. However, existing approaches typically quantify the quality of a generated image using a single scalar, limiting their ability to provide comprehensive and interpretable feedback on image quality. To address this, we introduce ImageDoctor, a unified multi-aspect T2I model evaluation fr…
