SparSTAR improves video synthesis efficiency with sparse attention

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed SparSTAR, a novel method for sparse attention designed to improve the efficiency of autoregressive video synthesis models like InfinityStar. SparSTAR addresses the computational cost associated with varying scales and cross-clip contexts in video generation by selectively computing attention blocks. This approach offers a significant speedup, approximately 1.6x, while maintaining high fidelity in video synthesis tasks. AI

IMPACT SparSTAR's efficiency gains could accelerate the development and deployment of high-resolution autoregressive video synthesis models.

    SparSTAR: Sparse Attention for SpaceTime AutoRegressive Video Synthesis

    InfinityStar extends visual autoregressive generation to video through a sequence of image and clip pyramids. Its changing scale and cross-clip context, however, leave late-scale attention costly and make sparse patterns reused from diffusion or image VAR models unreliable. We in…
