Inference-time steering adapts pretrained diffusion and flow models to new tasks without retraining, often utilizing ratio-of-densities constructions that reweight time-indexed marginals with fixed exponents. We identify Marginal Path Collapse, a failure mode in which the intermediate density define…
High-quality instance and panoptic segmentation has traditionally relied on dense instance-level annotations such as masks, boxes, or points, which are costly, inconsistent, and difficult to scale. Unsupervised and weakly-supervised approaches reduce this burden but remain constrained by semantic ba…
Cell instance segmentation (CIS) is crucial for identifying individual cell morphologies in histopathological images, providing valuable insights for biological and medical research. While unsupervised CIS (UCIS) models aim to reduce the heavy reliance on labor-intensive image annotations, they fail…
Despite recent advances in diffusion models, achieving reliable image generation and editing results remains challenging due to the inherent diversity induced by stochastic noise in the sampling process. Particularly, instruction-guided image editing with diffusion models offers user-friendly editin…
"Weakly-supervised semantic segmentation (WSS) ensures high-quality segmentation with limited data and excels when employed as input seed masks for large-scale vision models such as Segment Anything. However, WSS faces challenges related to minor classes since those are overlooked in images with adj…
"We identify a critical bias in contemporary CLIP-based models, which we denote as single tag bias. This bias manifests as a disproportionate focus on a singular tag (word) while neglecting other pertinent tags, stemming from CLIP embeddings prioritizing one specific tag in image-text relationships.…
Weakly-supervised semantic segmentation aims to reduce labeling costs by training semantic segmentation models using weak supervision, such as image-level class labels. However, most approaches struggle to produce accurate localization maps and suffer from false predictions in class-related backgrou…
