Semantic Generative Tuning for Unified Multimodal Models
Unified multimodal models (UMMs) strive to consolidate visual understanding and visual generation within a single architecture. However, prevailing training paradigms independently optimize understanding via sparse text signals and generation through dense pixel objectives. Such a decoupled strategy yields misaligned representation spaces, isolating visual understanding from generation and hindering their mutual reinforcement. This work presents the first systematic investigation into generative
