PhD student Jiawei Yang announced FD-Loss has been accepted as an Oral at NeurIPS, capping off his PhD. The method directly optimizes the FID metric: the 0.9 FID one-step pixel-space result he cryptically teased two months ago has now improved to 0.75, with room to go lower. The research started from a simple question—can FID be optimized directly, and what does that reveal—beginning as what he calls a deliberate small FID prank.
