Erasing More Than Intended? How Concept Erasure Degrades the Generation of Non-Target Concepts

ICCV 2025poster

Concept erasure techniques have recently gained significant attention for their potential to remove unwanted concepts from text-to-image models. While these methods often demonstrate promising results in controlled settings, their robustness in real-world applications and suitability for deployment…

DOCCI: Descriptions of Connected and Contrasting Images

ECCV 2024poster

"Vision-language datasets are vital for both text-to-image (T2I) and image-to-text (I2T) research. However, current datasets lack descriptions with fine-grained detail that would allow for richer associations to be learned by models. To fill the gap, we introduce Descriptions of Connected and Contra…

A New Path: Scaling Vision-and-Language Navigation With Synthetic Instructions and Imitation Learning

CVPR 2023poster

Recent studies in Vision-and-Language Navigation (VLN) train RL agents to execute natural-language navigation instructions in photorealistic environments, as a step towards robots that can follow human instructions. However, given the scarcity of human instruction data and limited diversity in the t…

Scaling Up Visual and Vision-Language Representation Learning With Noisy Text Supervision

ICML 2021oral

Pre-trained representations are becoming crucial for many NLP and perception tasks. While representation learning in NLP has transitioned to training on raw text without human annotations, visual and vision-language representations still rely heavily on curated training datasets that are expensive o…

TextSETTR: Few-Shot Text Style Extraction and Tunable Targeted Restyling

ACL 2021long

We present a novel approach to the problem of text style transfer. Unlike previous approaches requiring style-labeled training data, our method makes use of readily-available unlabeled text by relying on the implicit connection in style between adjacent sentences, and uses labeled data only at infer…
