Revealing Differences in Multi-Modal Embeddings via Constrained Kernel Analysis

ICML 2026poster

Multi-modal representation models such as CLIP, SigLIP, and their variants are widely used to represent data across multiple modalities in modern learning systems. While these models are commonly evaluated through downstream performance, the analysis of their structural differences in how multi-moda…

Training-Free Distribution Adaptation for Diffusion Models via Maximum Mean Discrepancy Guidance

ICML 2026poster

Pre-trained diffusion models have emerged as powerful generative priors for both unconditional and conditional sample generation, yet their outputs often deviate from the characteristics of user-specific target data. Such mismatches are especially problematic in domain adaptation tasks, where only a…

SPARKE: Scalable Prompt-Aware Diversity and Novelty Guidance in Diffusion Models via RKE Score

NeurIPS 2025poster

Diffusion models have demonstrated remarkable success in high-fidelity image synthesis and prompt-guided generative modeling. However, ensuring adequate diversity in generated samples of prompt-guided diffusion models remains a challenge, particularly when the prompts span a broad semantic spectrum…

Scendi Score: Prompt-Aware Diversity Evaluation via Schur Complement of CLIP Embeddings

ICCV 2025accepted

The use of CLIP embeddings to assess the fidelity of samples produced by text-to-image generative models has been extensively explored in the literature. While the widely adopted CLIPScore, derived from the cosine similarity of text and image embeddings, effectively measures the alignment of a gener…

Towards an Explainable Comparison and Alignment of Feature Embeddings

ICML 2025poster

While several feature embedding models have been developed in the literature, comparisons of these embeddings have largely focused on their numerical performance in classification-related downstream applications. However, an interpretable comparison of different embeddings requires identifying and a…

Unveiling Differences in Generative Models: A Scalable Differential Clustering Approach

CVPR 2025highlight

A fine-grained comparison of generative models requires the identification of sample types generated differently by each of the involved models. While quantitative scores have been proposed in the literature to rank different generative models, score-based evaluation and ranking do not reveal the nu…

Towards a Scalable Reference-Free Evaluation of Generative Models

NeurIPS 2024poster

While standard evaluation scores for generative models are mostly reference-based, a reference-dependent assessment of generative models could be generally difficult due to the unavailability of applicable reference datasets. Recently, the reference-free entropy scores, VENDI and RKE, have been prop…

An Information-Theoretic Evaluation of Generative Models in Learning Multi-modal Distributions

NeurIPS 2023poster

The evaluation of generative models has received significant attention in the machine learning community. When applied to a multi-modal distribution which is common among image datasets, an intuitive evaluation criterion is the number of modes captured by the generative model. While several scores…
