Beyond Top Activations: Efficient and Reliable Crowdsourced Evaluation of Automated Interpretability

CVPR 2026

Interpreting individual neurons or directions in activation space is an important topic in mechanistic interpretability. Numerous automated interpretability methods have been proposed to generate such explanations, but it remains unclear how reliable these explanations are, and which methods produce

Interpretable and Steerable Concept Bottleneck Sparse Autoencoders

CVPR 2026

Sparse autoencoders (SAEs) promise a unified approach for mechanistic interpretability, concept discovery, and model steering in LLMs and LVLMs. However, realizing this potential requires learned features to be both interpretable and steerable. To that end, we introduce two new computationally inexp

Interpretable Generative Models through Post-hoc Concept Bottlenecks

CVPR 2025poster

Concept bottleneck models (CBM) aim to produce inherently interpretable models that rely on human-understandable concepts for their predictions. However, existing approaches to design interpretable generative models based on CBMs are not yet efficient and scalable, as they require expensive generati…

Domain-Specificity Inducing Transformers for Source-Free Domain Adaptation

ICCV 2023poster

Conventional Domain Adaptation (DA) methods aim to learn domain-invariant feature representations to improve the target adaptation performance. However, we motivate that domain-specificity is equally important since in-domain trained models hold crucial domain-specific properties that are beneficial…

Concurrent Subsidiary Supervision for Unsupervised Source-Free Domain Adaptation

ECCV 2022poster

"The prime challenge in unsupervised domain adaptation (DA) is to mitigate the domain shift between the source and target domains. Prior DA works show that pretext tasks could be used to mitigate this domain shift by learning domain invariant representations. However, in practice, we find that most…

Generalize Then Adapt: Source-Free Domain Adaptive Semantic Segmentation

ICCV 2021poster

Unsupervised domain adaptation (DA) has gained substantial interest in semantic segmentation. However, almost all prior arts assume concurrent access to both labeled source and unlabeled target, making them unsuitable for scenarios demanding source-free adaptation. In this work, we enable source-fre…
