Supervising Sound Localization by In-the-wild Egomotion

Anna Min, Ziyang Chen, Hang Zhao et al. · 2026

We present a method for learning binaural sound localization using egomotion as a supervisory signal. Over the course of a video, the cameras direction to a sound source will change as the camera moves. We train an audio model to predict sound directions that are consistent with visual estimates of camera motion, which …

On the Diffusibility of High-Dimensional Latents

Chao Feng, Zhiyang Xu, Bowei Chen et al. · 2026

Representation Autoencoders (RAEs) enable diffusion models to operate in the feature spaces of pretrained visual encoders. However, many off-the-shelf encoders are not optimized for faithful reconstruction, discarding fine-grained visual details. As expected, finetuning these encoders for image reconstruction recovers …
