Intrinsic Distribution Matching improves one-step text-to-image generation with feature moment constraints
Intrinsic Distribution Matching (IDM) enhances distribution matching distillation by adding explicit moment matching of generator EMA features, achieving state-of-the-art text rendering scores on LongText-Bench at two network evaluations with no external encoder.

Adaptive task refresh improves zero-data multimodal model training by detecting learning saturation
A-RSI uses training log signals to decide when to replace training tasks with fresh, programmatically generated multimodal problems, improving performance on eleven benchmarks without external labels or validation data.

- Benchmarks & Evaluation
Benchmark evaluation depends on difficulty distribution and coverage gaps
This paper formalizes benchmarks as empirical difficulty measures, identifying two failure modes—measure mismatch and coverage gaps—that distort model comparisons and progress monitoring. It introduces metrics to diagnose these issues and a rewriting method, BenchFill, to reduce coverage gaps effectively.
