Diffusion Negative Preference Optimization Made Simple

ICLR 2026poster

Classifier-Free Guidance (CFG) improves diffusion sampling by encouraging conditional generations while discouraging unconditional ones. Existing preference alignment methods, however, focus only on positive preference pairs, limiting their ability to actively suppress undesirable outputs. Diffusion…

TESSAR: Geometry-Aware Active Regression via Dynamic Voronoi Tessellation

ICLR 2026poster

Active learning improves training efficiency by selectively querying the most informative samples for labeling. While it naturally fits classification tasks–where informative samples tend to lie near the decision boundary–its application to regression is less straightforward, as information is distr…

A Gradient Guidance Perspective on Stepwise Preference Optimization for Diffusion Models

NeurIPS 2025poster

Direct Preference Optimization (DPO) is a key framework for aligning text-to-image models with human preferences, extended by Stepwise Preference Optimization (SPO) to leverage intermediate steps for preference learning, generating more aesthetically pleasing images with significantly less computati…

BI-MDRG: Bridging Image History in Multimodal Dialogue Response Generation

ECCV 2024poster

"Multimodal Dialogue Response Generation (MDRG) is a recently proposed task where the model needs to generate responses in texts, images, or a blend of both based on the dialogue context. Due to the lack of a large-scale dataset specifically for this task and the benefits of leveraging powerful pre-…

C-TPT: Calibrated Test-Time Prompt Tuning for Vision-Language Models via Text Feature Dispersion

ICLR 2024poster

In deep learning, test-time adaptation has gained attention as a method for model fine-tuning without the need for labeled data. A prime exemplification is the recently proposed test-time prompt tuning for large-scale vision-language models such as CLIP. Unfortunately, these prompts have been mainly…

ESD: Expected Squared Difference as a Tuning-Free Trainable Calibration Measure

ICLR 2023poster

Studies have shown that modern neural networks tend to be poorly calibrated due to over-confident predictions. Traditionally, post-processing methods have been used to calibrate the model after training. In recent years, various trainable calibration measures have been proposed to incorporate them d…
