Abstract: A multimodal video generation framework (MMVID) that benefits from text and images provided jointly or separately as input. Quantized representations of videos are utilized with a bidirectional transformer with multiple modalities as inputs to predict a discrete video representation. A new video token trained with self-learning and an improved mask-prediction algorithm for sampling video tokens is used to improve video quality and consistency. Text augmentation is utilized to improve the robustness of the textual representation and diversity of generated videos. The framework incorporates various visual modalities, such as segmentation masks, drawings, and partially occluded images. In addition, the MMVID extracts visual information as suggested by a textual prompt.

Abstract: The invention provides a method for adapting a text-to-image (T2I) diffusion model for video editing by using spectral decomposition to achieve controlled spectral shifts in the model's weights. This adaptation involves maintaining constant singular vectors while selectively adjusting singular values in response to a text prompt. A spectral shift regularizer constrains adjustments, particularly limiting changes to larger singular values to ensure minimal deviation from the original model's structure. This approach allows efficient, prompt-driven video editing by modifying specific elements according to the prompt while preserving the original video context. By focusing on selective spectral adjustments, the method reduces adaptation time and computational demands, making it suitable for real-time and resource-sensitive applications, such as dynamic video editing for streaming services.
