Key points

  • It systematizes RDM along two axes, distribution comparison and representation space, and derives the best design for each axis.
  • It shows that MMD becomes a strong objective when estimated with Nyström approximation and large batches of 2,048 or more.
  • A single encoder can be gamed, so the paper proposes SWr14, an evaluation metric using 14 encoders that is resistant to gaming and independent of training loss.
  • iRDM reaches a one-stage state-of-the-art SWr14 of 1.30 on ImageNet and a PickScore win rate of 71.2%.
  • It compresses FLUX.2[klein] from four stages to one stage, reaching a GenEval score of 0.826 versus 0.794 for the original model with 90 H200 GPU hours.
  • Proportional Lagrangian optimization keeps the encoders balanced and improves the weakest encoder.
