Customizing Video Portraits via Identity-ActionDecoupling

Junxiong Lin, Haoran Wang, Xinji Mai et al.

Identity-Preserving Text-to-Video Generation (IPT2V) seeks to synthesize a temporally coherent video from a reference image and a textual description, while simultaneously preserving the subject's identity and allowing fine-grained control over facial dynamics. Although recent methods such as ID-Animator and ConsisID inject identity features only at inference time, they ignored the ID-irrelevant information contained in Facial embedding, leading to monotonous or inaccurate facial movements that poorly follow the prompt. We introduce Identity-Action Decoupling (IaD) framework as well as two loss function Identity Decoupling Loss and Text Alignment Loss to solve this problem. Without any subject-specific fine-tuning, IaD yields videos that (1) maintain cross-temporal identity consistency and (2) exhibit rich, controllable expressions and scene variations that closely match the input text.

Interest Entanglement: The Hidden Barrier to Blind Super-Resolution Optimization

Junxiong Lin, Xinji Mai, Qianyu Guo et al.

Fidelity and perceptual quality are two inherently competing and conflicting objectives in the image super-resolution (SR) task. Different loss functions focus on these objectives to varying extents. Regression losses enhance the model's fidelity but lack sufficient attention to high-frequency details, resulting in a loss of fine details. In contrast, perception losses improve the model's visual quality but may introduce undesirable artifacts. Balancing these two optimization goals can be viewed as a Multi-Objective Optimization problem. Existing methods are limited to cautiously adjusting weight parameters between these losses, overlooking the underlying Interest Entanglement problem. To address this problem, we explore the inherent frequency-domain conflict between the regression objective and the perceptual objective, and analyze the causes of Interest Entanglement in SR tasks. According to our findings, we propose the Shared-Feature-Representation based Super-Resolution framework (SFR), which decouples the learning process of different optimization objectives, allowing the model to explore a common optimization direction for both goals and achieve an effective balance between them. To better leverage shared features, we also proposed the InfoSqueeze module, which filters redundant information through a dimensionality reduction and expansion process, effectively transforming features into a consistent space. Quantitative and qualitative experiments across five representative datasets affirm the superiority of SFR.
