Co-denoising pretrained representations such as DINO can substantially improve the training speed and quality of flow matching models, but it introduces a second denoising trajectory and requires carefully designed schedules. We propose a simpler alternative: predict the pretrained representation directly, then conditi …
LiDAR point clouds of humans are extremely expensive to collect and annotate, thus represent a scarce resource that hinders the development of human analysis using this modality. To alleviate this scarcity, prior work relies on simulated human LiDAR, but such samples do not fully reflect the geometry and sensing charac …
Distilling pretrained foundation models into an autoencoder bottleneck improves latent diffusability, enabling diffusion models to converge faster and reach higher sample quality. Standard distillation aligns the latent at each position to a co-located teacher feature, tying the latent layout to the teacher's. We show …
