Video creation spans text-to-video (T2V), image-to-video (I2V), and condition-based generation, yet video diffusion models remain costly because they repeatedly evaluate large backbones during sampling. Distribution matching distillation (DMD) reduces this cost, but its reverse Kullback--Leibler (KL) objective can prov …
Although multicopter drones are traditionally designed for "perception-only" tasks, like mapping and exploration, recent work has sought to develop Unmanned Aerial Manipulators (UAMs) to solve mobile manipulation tasks. Aerial manipulation performance can be impacted by "downwash," the airflow produced by propellers, b …
Few-step streaming audio--video generation requires both causal modeling and step distillation, yet standard training recipes face two context-related challenges. Teacher forcing pairs clean history with a noisy target, but supervises predictive contextual representations only indirectly through velocity prediction. Me …
Quantization errors in video diffusion transformers can be amplified or attenuated by subsequent denoising updates, making local reconstruction error an incomplete predictor of final impact. We introduce PulseQuant, a 4-bit post-training quantization method that combines trajectory sensitivity with activation geometry …
