Latent Refinement

Latent refinement techniques aim to improve the quality and fidelity of outputs from various generative models and signal processing methods by iteratively refining intermediate representations (latent spaces). Current research focuses on applying this approach to diverse applications, including image editing, medical image segmentation, and video denoising, often employing diffusion models, GANs, and other deep learning architectures to achieve this refinement. These advancements enhance the accuracy and realism of generated content, leading to improvements in areas such as medical diagnosis, image manipulation, and data compression, while also addressing limitations in existing methods like topological inconsistencies or artifacts at low bitrates.
