Forget Less by Learning from Parents Through Hierarchical Relationships

AAAI 2026technical

Custom Diffusion Models (CDMs) offer impressive capabilities for personalization in generative modeling, yet they remain vulnerable to catastrophic forgetting when learning new concepts sequentially. Existing approaches primarily focus on minimizing interference between concepts, often neglecting th

Interpretable Prompts made Edit-Friendly: Token-to-Token Similarity Reduction in dLLMs for Edit-Friendly Hard Prompt Inversion

CVPR 2026

Crafting prompts via Prompt Engineering that steer a model's internal representations toward specific and pre-defined outcomes can be time-consuming, often requiring multiple iterations. Hard Prompt Inversion offers a complementary workflow: start from a reference image and generate a prompt that co

ManifoldGD: Training-Free Hierarchical Manifold Guidance for Diffusion-Based Dataset Distillation

CVPR 2026

In recent times, large datasets hinder efficient model training while also containing redundant concepts. Dataset distillation aims to synthesize compact datasets that preserve the knowledge of large-scale training sets while drastically reducing storage and computation. Recent advances in diffusion

Your Text Encoder Can Be An Object-Level Watermarking Controller

ICCV 2025poster

Invisible watermarking of AI-generated images can help with copyright protection, enabling detection and identification of AI-generated media. In this work, we present a novel approach to watermark images of T2I Latent Diffusion Models (LDMs). By only fine-tuning text token embeddings \mathcal W _*,…

ParallelEdits: Efficient Multi-Aspect Text-Driven Image Editing with Attention Grouping

NeurIPS 2024poster

Text-driven image synthesis has made significant advancements with the development of diffusion models, transforming how visual content is generated from text prompts. Despite these advances, text-driven image editing, a key area in computer graphics, faces unique challenges. A major challenge is ma…

Pooling Image Datasets with Multiple Covariate Shift and Imbalance

ICLR 2024poster

Small sample sizes are common in many disciplines, which necessitates pooling roughly similar datasets across multiple sites/institutions to study weak but relevant associations between images and disease incidence. Such data often manifest shifts and imbalances in covariates (secondary non-ima…

Efficient Discrete Multi Marginal Optimal Transport Regularization

ICLR 2023top-25%

Optimal transport has emerged as a powerful tool for a variety of problems in machine learning, and it is frequently used to enforce distributional constraints. In this context, existing methods often use either a Wasserstein metric, or else they apply concurrent barycenter approaches when more than…

Equivariance Allows Handling Multiple Nuisance Variables When Analyzing Pooled Neuroimaging Datasets

CVPR 2022poster

Pooling multiple neuroimaging datasets across institutions often enables significant improvements in statistical power when evaluating associations (e.g., between risk factors and disease outcomes) that would otherwise be too weak to detect. When there is only a single source of variability (e.g.…

Graph reparameterizations for enabling 1000+ Monte Carlo iterations in Bayesian deep neural networks

UAI 2021poster

Uncertainty estimation in deep models is essential in many real-world applications and has benefited from developments over the last several years. Recent evidence suggests that existing solutions dependent on simple Gaussian formulations may not be sufficient. However, moving to other distributions…

Learning Invariant Representations using Inverse Contrastive Loss

AAAI 2021technical

Learning invariant representations is a critical first step in a number of machine learning tasks. A common approach is given by the so-called information bottleneck principle in which an application dependent function of mutual information is carefully chosen and optimized. Unfortunately, in practi…

FairALM: Augmented Lagrangian Method for Training Fair Models with Little Regret

ECCV 2020poster

Algorithmic decision making based on computer vision and machine learning technologies continue to permeate our lives. But issues related to biases of these models and the extent to which they treat certain segments of the population unfairly, have led to concern in the general public. It is now acc…

Generating Accurate Pseudo-Labels in Semi-Supervised Learning and Avoiding Overconfident Predictions via Hermite Polynomial Activations

CVPR 2020poster

Rectified Linear Units (ReLUs) are among the most widely used activation function in a broad variety of tasks in vision. Recent theoretical results suggest that despite their excellent practical performance, in various cases, a substitution with basis expansions (e.g., polynomials) can yield signifi…
