RepLDM: Reprogramming Pretrained Latent Diffusion Models for High-Quality, High-Efficiency, High-Resolution Image Generation
Boyuan Cao, Jiaxin Ye, Yujie Wei, Hongming Shan
While latent diffusion models (LDMs), such as Stable Diffusion, are designed for high-resolution (HR) image generation, they often struggle with significant structural one. Instead distortions of relying when generating on extensiv images e retraining, at resolutions a more resource-ef higher than ficient their approach training is to reprogram the pretrained model for HR image generation; however, existing methods often result in poor image quality and long inference time. We introduce RepLDM, high-quality a, no high-ef vel reprogramming ficiency, high-r frame esolution work image for pretrained generation; LDMs see that Fig. enables 1. RepLDM consists of two stages: (i) an attention guidance stage, which generates a latent training-free representa self-attention tion of a higher mechanism -quality to training-resolution enhance the structural image consistenc using a y; no and vel (ii) a progressive upsampling stage, which progressively performs upsampling in pixel space to mitigate the severe artifacts caused by latent space upsampling.
Evaluating Robustness of Monocular Depth Estimation with Procedural Scene Perturbations
Recent years have witnessed substantial progress on monocular depth estimation, particularly as measured by the success of large models on standard benchmarks. However, performance on standard benchmarks does not offer a complete assessment, because most evaluate accuracy but not robustness. In this work, we introduce PDE (Procedural Depth Evaluation), a new benchmark which enables systematic evaluation of robustness to changes in 3D scene content. PDE uses procedural generation to create 3D scenes that test robustness to various controlled perturbations, including object, camera, material and lighting changes. Our analysis yields interesting findings on what perturbations are challenging for state-of-the-art depth models, which we hope will inform further research.

Appendix382 AAdditional Experiments3383 A.1 Experiments on the ETT datasets384 In the main body, we present a comparison of the benchmark methods on the ETTm2 dataset. In this385 section, we extend our analysis to the remaining three ETT datasets, namely ETTh1, ETTh2, and386 ETTm1, as summarized in Table 7. Our experimental results reveal that Basisformer outperforms all387 other methods in terms of MSE and MAE. In all experiments, lower MSE values indicate better model performance, and we present the best results in boldface. Experimental results with longer length input setting391 Throughout our research, we maintain consistency in our experimental settings by fixing the input392 length to be 96(with a reduced input length of 36for the illness dataset), instead of using a longer393 length.
PROTES: Probabilistic Optimization with Tensor Sampling
We developed a new method PROTES for black-box optimization, which is based on the probabilistic sampling from a probability density function given in the low-parametric tensor train format. We tested it on complex multidimensional arrays and discretized multivariable functions taken, among others, from real-world applications, including unconstrained binary optimization and optimal control problems, for which the possible number of elements is up to 21000. In numerical experiments, both on analytic model functions and on complex problems, PROTES outperforms popular discrete optimization methods (Particle Swarm Optimization, Covariance Matrix Adaptation, Differential Evolution, and others).
