๐ŸŽ‰ Happy to share our latest work: Bootstrap Your Generator: Unpaired Visual Editing with Flow Matching (accepted to #ICML2026)! TL;DR: We train image and video editing models without any paired data. No ground-truth edit data, no external reward models.

Thank you for explaining our work so wonderfully well!
I felt like Indiana Jones unearthing a hidden treasure with this. ๐Ÿค  NVIDIA's new AI tech deletes the un-deletable - shadows on grass and more. All this in real time! Full video: youtu.be/RaNay3x0Fmk

It's amazing to see how far ProtoMotions has come since it's first release. If you are looking for a feature-rich and scalable framework that can train controllers on massive datasets, then checkout ProtoMotions!
At @nvidia, we built ProtoMotions to help us, and researchers world-wide, innovate quickly without compromising on applicability. We're proud to announce ProtoMotions3 -- our biggest release yet! ๐Ÿงต๐Ÿ‘‡

๐ŸŽ‰ I am excited to present our new paper! Our paper improves personalization of text-to-image models,ย byย adding one special cleaning step on top of existing personalized models. With just a single gradient update (~4 seconds on an NVIDIA H100 GPU) and a single image of the target concept, our method improves both text alignment and image alignment. For example, it improves LoRA byย ( 7% / 14%). This is achieved by adding new loss terms and taking into account the prompt and seed. This work was done together with @dvir_samuel and @GalChechik. ๐ŸŒ Paper page: per-query-visual-concept-leaโ€ฆ ๐Ÿ“„ arXiv paper: arxiv.org/abs/2508.09045 More details in the comments below.

How do generative models represent the notion of "an object"? In early 20th century, Gestalt psychologist studied this question for human perception. This paper now looks into related mechanisms in text-to-video models.

This morning, I had the pleasure of attending #EMTech Europe 2025 in Athens, an international conference on emerging technologies. Sr. Director of @NVIDIA, Israeli @GalChechik , gave a fascinating talk on the future of #AI, moderated by @yanpal7 of @kathimerini_gr , highlighting its transformative impact across industries in our lives. Innovation which is defining our future.

It's always a bit stressful: Testing a pre-trained model on new datasets, with a different population and setup. Gluformer predictions were beyond what we hoped for!
We have a new and revised GluFormer manuscript! We expanded our analyses considerably: now showing that our AI model for CGM can identify individuals at higher risk of declining glycemic control before it happens, and can predict long-term diabetes & cardiovascular mortality.

Interesting #ECCV2024 keynote on distribution shift. @sanmikoyejo discussed interpolation and extrapolation. There is a 3rd case: Composition. Interpolate for each component but extrapolate the combination. Can we do better with composition than worst-case extrapolation?

At inference, just give the LLM a new prompt a high score, and predict a prompt-specific flow. For more info, please read our paper or come find us at @eccvconf Work done with my amazing collaborators @adihaviv @yuvalalaluf, Amit Bermano, @DanielCohenOr1 and @GalChechik [4/4]

Animators of human motion want to control some aspect of the movement, and not bother with others. MaskedMimic does exactly that using physics-based models. Check out the code and video
