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…
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…
Do You See What I Am Pointing At? Gesture-Based Egocentric Video Question Answering
Yura Choi, Roy Miles, Rolandos Alexandros Potamias +3
Understanding and answering questions based on a user's pointing gesture is essential for next-generation egocentric AI assistants. However, current Multimodal Large Language Model…
SATGround: A Spatially-Aware Approach for Visual Grounding in Remote Sensing
Aysim Toker, Andreea-Maria Oncescu, Roy Miles +2
Vision-language models (VLMs) are emerging as powerful generalist tools for remote sensing, capable of integrating information across diverse tasks and enabling flexible, instructi…
DreamCAD: Scaling Multi-modal CAD Generation using Differentiable Parametric Surfaces
Mohammad Sadil Khan, Muhammad Usama, Rolandos Alexandros Potamias +4
Computer-Aided Design (CAD) relies on structured and editable geometric representations, yet existing generative methods are constrained by small annotated datasets with explicit d…
