AViS-Mamba: Adaptive Visual Steering of Audio State-Space Dynamics for Violence Detection
Damith Chamalke Senadeera, Dimitrios Kollias, Gregory Slabaugh
Automatic violence detection from video is challenging because violent interactions may be distant, occluded, or only partially visible. Audio can provide complementary evidence fo…
FuseMamba-VD: Dual Branch VideoMamba with Gated Class Token Fusion for Violence Detection
Damith Chamalke Senadeera, Muhammad Awais, Shibo Li +2
The rapid proliferation of surveillance cameras has increased the demand for automated violence detection. While CNNs and Transformers have shown success in extracting spatio-tempo…
EquiSteer: Cross-Attention Steering Towards a Fairer Text-Guided Image Generation
Tatiana Gaintseva, Akshit Achara, Gregory Slabaugh +2
Text-to-image diffusion models power everyday creative tasks, but they still reproduce the demographic biases in their training data. On common prompts such as ``a photo of a nurse…
HPP: Hierarchical Programmatic Probing for Long Video Understanding by Decoupling Perception and Reasoning
Awais Rauf, Ahmed Hasssan, Greg Slabaugh
Understanding long videos requires fine-grained perception and multi-step, higher-order reasoning over complex, long-range spatio-temporal dynamics. Vision-language models (VLMs) e…
MidSteer: Optimal Affine Framework for Steering Generative Models
Tatiana Gaintseva, Andrew Stepanov, Ziquan Liu +4
Steering intermediate representations has emerged as a powerful strategy for controlling generative models, particularly in post-deployment alignment and safety settings. However,…
CASteer: Cross-Attention Steering for Controllable Concept Erasure
Tatiana Gaintseva, Andreea-Maria Oncescu, Chengcheng Ma +5
Diffusion models have transformed image generation, yet controlling their outputs to reliably erase undesired concepts remains challenging. Existing approaches usually require task…
