Rectified-flow-based diffusion transformers, such as FLUX and OpenSora, have demonstrated exceptional performance in the field of image and video generation. Despite their robust generative capabilities, these models often suffer from inaccurate inversion, which could further limit their effectiveness in downstream tasks such as image and video editing. To address this issue, we propose RF-Solver, a novel training-free sampler that enhances inversion precision by reducing errors in the process of solving rectified flow ODEs. Specifically, we derive the exact formulation of the rectified flow ODE and perform a high-order Taylor expansion to estimate its nonlinear components, significantly decreasing the approximation error at each timestep. Building upon RF-Solver, we further design RF-Edit, which comprises specialized sub-modules for image and video editing. By sharing self-attention layer features during the editing process, RF-Edit effectively preserves the structural information of the source image or video while achieving high-quality editing results. Our approach is compatible with any pre-trained rectified-flow-based models for image and video tasks, requiring no additional training or optimization. Extensive experiments on text-to-image generation, image & video inversion, and image & video editing demonstrate the robust performance and adaptability of our methods.

Inversion-based image editing in flow matching models has emerged as a powerful paradigm for training-free, text-guided image manipulation. A central challenge in this paradigm is the injection dilemma: injecting source features during denoising preserves the background of the original image but simultaneously suppresses the model's ability to synthesize edited content. Existing methods address this with fixed injection strategies -- binary on/off temporal schedules, uniform spatial mixing ratios, and channel-agnostic latent perturbation -- that ignore the inherently heterogeneous nature of injection demand across both the temporal and channel dimensions. In this paper, we present AdaEdit, a training-free adaptive editing framework that resolves this dilemma through two complementary innovations. First, we propose a Progressive Injection Schedule that replaces hard binary cutoffs with continuous decay functions (sigmoid, cosine, or linear), enabling a smooth transition from source-feature preservation to target-feature generation and eliminating feature discontinuity artifacts. Second, we introduce Channel-Selective Latent Perturbation, which estimates per-channel importance based on the distributional gap between the inverted and random latents and applies differentiated perturbation strengths accordingly -- strongly perturbing edit-relevant channels while preserving structure-encoding channels. Extensive experiments on the PIE-Bench benchmark (700 images, 10 editing types) demonstrate that AdaEdit achieves an 8.7% reduction in LPIPS, a 2.6% improvement in SSIM, and a 2.3% improvement in PSNR over strong baselines, while maintaining competitive CLIP similarity. AdaEdit is fully plug-and-play and compatible with multiple ODE solvers including Euler, RF-Solver, and FireFlow. Code is available at https://github.com/leeguandong/AdaEdit

Inversion-based visual editing provides an effective and training-free way to edit an image or a video based on user instructions. Existing methods typically inject source image information during the sampling process to maintain editing consistency. However, this sampling strategy overly relies on source information, which negatively affects the edits in the target image (e.g., failing to change the subject's atributes like pose, number, or color as instructed). In this work, we propose ProEdit to address this issue both in the attention and the latent aspects. In the attention aspect, we introduce KV-mix, which mixes KV features of the source and the target in the edited region, mitigating the influence of the source image on the editing region while maintaining background consistency. In the latent aspect, we propose Latents-Shift, which perturbs the edited region of the source latent, eliminating the influence of the inverted latent on the sampling. Extensive experiments on several image and video editing benchmarks demonstrate that our method achieves SOTA performance. In addition, our design is plug-and-play, which can be seamlessly integrated into existing inversion and editing methods, such as RF-Solver, FireFlow and UniEdit.

Accurate, high-performance radio-frequency (RF) filter circuits are ubiquitous in radio-frequency communication and sensing systems for accepting and rejecting signals at desired frequencies. Conventional RF filter design process involves manual calculations of design parameters, followed by intuition-guided iterations to achieve the desired response for a set of filter specifications. This process is time-consuming due to time- and resource-intensive electromagnetic simulations using full-wave numerical PDE solvers. This process is also highly sensitive to domain expertise and requires many years of professional training. To address these bottlenecks, we propose an automatic RF filter circuit design tool using neural simulator and reinforcement learning. First, we train a neural simulator to replace the PDE electromagnetic simulator. The neural-network-based simulator reduces each of the simulation time from 4 minutes on average to less than 100 millisecond while maintaining a high precision. Such dramatic acceleration enable us to leverage deep reinforcement learning algorithm and train an amortized inference policy to perform automatic design in the imagined space from the neural simulator. The resulted automatic circuit-design agent achieves super-human design results. The automatic circuit-design agent also reduces the on-average design cycle from days to under a few seconds. Even more surprisingly, we demonstrate that the neural simulator can generalize to design spaces far from the training dataset and in a sense it has learned the underlying physics--Maxwell equations. We also demonstrate that the reinforcement learning has discovered many expert-like design intuitions. This work marks a step in using neural simulators and reinforcement learning in RF circuit design and the proposed method is generally applicable to many other design problems and domains in close affinity

Radio Frequency Neural Networks (RFNNs) have demonstrated advantages in realizing intelligent applications across various domains. However, as the model size of deep neural networks rapidly increases, implementing large-scale RFNN in practice requires an extensive number of RF interferometers and consumes a substantial amount of energy. To address this challenge, we propose to utilize low-rank decomposition to transform a large-scale RFNN into a compact RFNN while almost preserving its accuracy. Specifically, we develop a Tensor-Train RFNN (TT-RFNN) where each layer comprises a sequence of low-rank third-order tensors, leading to a notable reduction in parameter count, thereby optimizing RF interferometer utilization in comparison to the original large-scale RFNN. Additionally, considering the inherent physical errors when mapping TT-RFNN to RF device parameters in real-world deployment, from a general perspective, we construct the Robust TT-RFNN (RTT-RFNN) by incorporating a robustness solver on TT-RFNN to enhance its robustness. To adapt the RTT-RFNN to varying requirements of reshaping operations, we further provide a reconfigurable reshaping solution employing RF switch matrices. Empirical evaluations conducted on MNIST and CIFAR-10 datasets show the effectiveness of our proposed method.
