PixelDense: Dense Prediction as Representation Alignment for Pixel Diffusion
Representation alignment (REPA) accelerates diffusion transformer training, but its alignment targets are almost exclusively semantic encoders such as DINOv2 and CLIP. Recent analysis points to spatial structure, not global semantics, as the carrier of the alignment effect, yet dense-prediction foundation models traine...
