SlotDiT: Diffusion Transformer uses object-centric slots for video generation

Researchers have introduced SlotDiT, a novel Diffusion Transformer (DiT) model designed for video generation and robotic applications. This model operates within a slot-based latent space, which decomposes scenes into object-centric representations. SlotDiT leverages these structured latents to predict future scene dynamics based on language instructions and observed context. Experiments indicate that SlotDiT achieves competitive video generation quality and enhances task completion rates in robotics, offering a more computationally efficient alternative to VAE-based methods.

    SlotDiT: Object-Centric Representations for Diffusion Transformers

    arXiv:2609.17414v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Text-conditioned latent diffusion models perform strongly in video generation and are promising backbones for robotic applications. However, existing approaches rely on pixel-level or VAE-based latent representations that lack expli…
