[Long Review] Cascaded Diffusion Models for High Fidelity Image Generation
Before Imagen and DALL-E 2 made diffusion the default for generative imagery, this Google Brain paper laid out the cascaded diffusion recipe that a lot of late…
[Short Review] Cascaded Diffusion Models for High Fidelity Image Generation
Cascaded diffusion is the two-stage-plus recipe underneath a lot of modern generative work: generate a small image with one diffusion model, then hand it to su…
[Long Review] Axial Attention in Multidimensional Transformers
Full self-attention over an image or a video is prohibitively expensive, so how do you keep the expressiveness of a Transformer without the quadratic blowup?
[Short Review] Axial Attention in Multidimensional Transformers
Axial attention is one of those elegant ideas that keeps Transformers tractable on high-dimensional data: instead of attending over every pixel or every time-f…
[Long Review] Transfer Learning from Speaker Verification to Multispeaker Text-To-Speech Synthesis
This is the paper that made zero-shot voice cloning practical: train a speaker encoder on a discriminative verification task with thousands of noisy, transcrip…
[Short Review] Transfer Learning from Speaker Verification to Multispeaker Text-To-Speech Synthesis
The Google paper that kicked off the modern zero-shot voice cloning wave has a beautifully clean architecture: a speaker encoder trained on verification, a Tac…
[Short Review] Wav2Seq: Pre-training Speech-to-Text Encoder-Decoder Models Using Pseudo Languages
Self-supervised pretraining like wav2vec 2.0 gave us great speech encoders, but if you want a full encoder-decoder ASR system, the decoder was still starting f…
[Long Review] Towards Zero-Label Language Learning
What if you could train task-specific NLP models without a single human-labeled example? "Towards Zero-Label Language Learning" leans hard into that question.
[Short Review] Deduplicating Training Data Makes Language Models Better
How much of your language model's "generalization" is actually just regurgitation?
