FAPL From HKUST and Tencent Makes Video DiTs Actually Use MLLM Latents

tencent · hf · 2026-10-23

Researchers from HKUST MMLab, Tencent Video, and École Polytechnique propose Factor-Aware Predictive Learning (FAPL). MLLM representations hold useful priors for cinematic video generation, but Video Diffusion Transformers often bypass them via native conditioning. FAPL uses latent-only generator grounding—training the DiT with a frozen MLLM and connector—plus factor-aware control signals to enable sparse temporal inference and factor-level cinematic control over character, scene, action, and camera.
