FlowID: Enhancing Forensic Identification with Latent Flow-Matching Models

IJCAI 2026

Every day, many people die under violent circumstances, whether from crimes, war, migration, or climate disasters. Medico-legal and law enforcement institutions document many portraits of the deceased for evidence, but cannot immediately carry out identification on them. While traditional image edit

Learning to Steer: Input-dependent Steering for Multimodal LLMs

NeurIPS 2025poster

Steering has emerged as a practical approach to enable post-hoc guidance of LLMs towards enforcing a specific behavior. However, it remains largely underexplored for multimodal LLMs (MLLMs); furthermore, existing steering techniques, such as \textit{mean} steering, rely on a single steering vector,…

Restyling Unsupervised Concept Based Interpretable Networks with Generative Models

ICLR 2025poster

Developing inherently interpretable models for prediction has gained prominence in recent years. A subclass of these models, wherein the interpretable network relies on learning high-level concepts, are valued because of closeness of concept representations to human communication. However, the visua…

A Concept-Based Explainability Framework for Large Multimodal Models

NeurIPS 2024poster

Large multimodal models (LMMs) combine unimodal encoders and large language models (LLMs) to perform multimodal tasks. Despite recent advancements towards the interpretability of these models, understanding internal representations of LMMs remains largely a mystery. In this paper, we present a novel…

A Style-Based GAN Encoder for High Fidelity Reconstruction of Images and Videos

ECCV 2022poster

"We present a new encoder architecture for GAN inversion. The task is to reconstruct a real image from the latent space of a pre-trained Generative Adversarial Network (GAN). Unlike previous encoder-based methods which predict only a latent code from a real image, the proposed encoder maps the given…

A Latent Transformer for Disentangled Face Editing in Images and Videos

ICCV 2021poster

High quality facial image editing is a challenging problem in the movie post-production industry, requiring a high degree of control and identity preservation. Previous works that attempt to tackle this problem may suffer from the entanglement of facial attributes and the loss of the person's identi…

Multi-View Radar Semantic Segmentation

ICCV 2021poster

Understanding the scene around the ego-vehicle is key to assisted and autonomous driving. Nowadays, this is mostly conducted using cameras and laser scanners, despite their reduced performances in adverse weather conditions. Automotive radars are low-cost active sensors that measure properties of su…
