After finishing my papers for my PhD, I spent some time exploring new directions. I ended up working on Diffusion Language Models with @haoyuhe.bsky.social (he made it work 🚀), @yongcao.bsky.social, @andreasgeiger.bsky.social. I learned a lot of new things and I am very excited about the results. 🥳

MDPO: Overcoming the Training-Inference Divide of Masked Diffusion Language Models

Diffusion language models, as a promising alternative to traditional autoregressive (AR) models, enable faster generation and richer conditioning on bidirectional context. However, they suffer from a ...

🚗 Pseudo-simulation combines the efficiency of open-loop and robustness of closed-loop evaluation. It uses real data + 3D Gaussian Splatting synthetic views to assess error recovery, achieving strong correlation with closed-loop simulations while requiring 6x less compute. arxiv.org/abs/2506.04218

📢 We have a PR[AI]RIE PhD position opening at Inria Paris co-advised with R. de Charette & @tuanhungvu.bsky.social [please distribute] 💡Topic: Physics-Grounded Vision Foundation Models ⏳Application deadline: 20 May 2025 🗓️ Start date: Fall 2025 📝Detailed description: linked below

📣 Excited to share our #CVPR2025 Spotlight paper and my internship project @wayve: SimLingo. A Vision-Language-Action (VLA) model that achieves state-of-the-art driving performance with language capabilities. Code: github.com/RenzKa/simli... Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2503.09594

📢 New paper CVPR 25! Can meshes capture fuzzy geometry? Volumetric Surfaces uses adaptive textured shells to model hair, fur without the splatting / volume overhead. It’s fast, looks great, and runs in real time even on budget phones. 🔗 autonomousvision.github.io/volsurfs/ 📄 arxiv.org/pdf/2409.02482

In my first research project I was super excited about getting any stars on GitHub. Now having a project with 1k stars feels unreal🤯 wouldn’t have been possible without the tremendous effort of @chonghaosima.bsky.social during the main project and afterwards with the challenge 🙏🏼
