Moiré Video Authentication: A Physical Signature Against AI Video Generation

Yuan Qing, Kunyu Zheng, Lingxiao Li +2

Recent advances in video generation have made AI-synthesized content increasingly difficult to distinguish from real footage. We propose a physics-based authentication signature th…

Culture in Action: Evaluating Text-to-Image Models through Social Activities

Sina Malakouti, Boqing Gong, Adriana Kovashka

Text-to-image (T2I) diffusion models achieve impressive photorealism by training on large-scale web data, but models inherit cultural biases and fail to depict underrepresented reg…

Attention to Neural Plagiarism: Diffusion Models Can Plagiarize Your Copyrighted Images!

Zihang Zou, Boqing Gong, Liqiang Wang

In this paper, we highlight a critical threat posed by emerging neural models: data plagiarism. We demonstrate how modern neural models (e.g., diffusion models) can replicate copyr…

On Discrete Prompt Optimization for Diffusion Models

Ruochen Wang, Ting Liu, Cho-Jui Hsieh +1

This paper introduces the first gradient-based framework for prompt optimization in text-to-image diffusion models. We formulate prompt engineering as a discrete optimization probl…

Understanding the Impact of Negative Prompts: When and How Do They Take Effect?

Yuanhao Ban, Ruochen Wang, Tianyi Zhou +3

The concept of negative prompts, emerging from conditional generation models like Stable Diffusion, allows users to specify what to exclude from the generated images.%, demonstrati…

The Crystal Ball Hypothesis in diffusion models: Anticipating object positions from initial noise

Yuanhao Ban, Ruochen Wang, Tianyi Zhou +3

Diffusion models have achieved remarkable success in text-to-image generation tasks; however, the role of initial noise has been rarely explored. In this study, we identify specifi…
