Align Once to Explain: Feature Alignment for Scalable B-cosification of Foundational Vision Transformers

CVPR 2026

Foundational vision models have become the de facto standard for many vision tasks due to their strong performance. However, they are notoriously opaque and remain hard to interpret. We present ALOE (ALign Once to Explain), a one-time, label-free feature alignment based approach that efficiently con

DAVE: Distribution-aware Attribution via ViT Gradient Decomposition

ICML 2026spotlight

Vision Transformers (ViTs) have become a dominant architecture in computer vision, yet producing stable and high-resolution attribution maps for these models remains challenging. Architectural components such as patch embeddings and attention routing often introduce structured artifacts in pixel-lev…

How to Probe: Simple Yet Effective Techniques for Improving Post-hoc Explanations

ICLR 2025poster

Post-hoc importance attribution methods are a popular tool for “explaining” Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) and are inherently based on the assumption that the explanations can be applied independently of how the models were trained. Contrarily, in this work we bring forward empirical evidence that chal…

SimPropNet: Improved Similarity Propagation for Few-shot Image Segmentation

IJCAI 2020poster

Few-shot segmentation (FSS) methods perform image segmentation for a particular object class in a target (query) image, using a small set of (support) image-mask pairs. Recent deep neural network based FSS methods leverage high-dimensional feature similarity between the foreground features of the su…
