RepProbe: Can Video Language Models Count Repeated Actions? A Diagnostic Benchmark
Mahsa Khoshnoodi, Sarah Adel Bargal
Repetition counting requires identifying and enumerating action cycles over time. While state-of-the-art video language models describe actions fluently, they fail to reliably coun…
Sidecar: Training-Free Semantic Reuse for Character-Consistent Free-form Visual Storytelling
Sibo Dong, Sarah Adel Bargal
Visual storytelling requires generating images that follow a narrative while preserving consistent character identities across frames. In free-form story generation, a character is…
ChartProbe: A Diagnostic Study on Visual Reasoning through Perception, Grounding, and Simple Reasoning
Mahsa Khoshnoodi, Sarah Adel Bargal
Vision-language models (VLMs) remain unreliable on chart questions that require reasoning over visual quantities, and this weakness is usually attributed to a reasoning deficit and…
PROVE: Training-Free Prompt Recovery using Verifiable Evidence
Rupayan Mallick, Mahsa Khoshnoodi, Sarah Adel Bargal
Modern text-to-image models can generate highly realistic images from natural-language prompts, while recent advances in prompt inversion have made it increasingly feasible to reco…
FreeStory: Training-Free Character Consistency for Free-Form Visual Storytelling
Sibo Dong, Ismail Shaheen, Sarah Adel Bargal
Visual storytelling aims to generate image sequences that are both aligned with narrative prompts and consistent in character appearance across images. Recent training-free methods…
Evaluating Concept Filtering Defenses against Child Sexual Abuse Material Generation by Text-to-Image Models
Ana-Maria Cretu, Klim Kireev, Amro Abdalla +5
We evaluate the effectiveness of filtering child images from training datasets of text-to-image models to prevent model misuse to create child sexual abuse material (CSAM). First,…
Gen-AFFECT: Generation of Avatar Fine-grained Facial Expressions with Consistent identiTy
Hao Yu, Rupayan Mallick, Margrit Betke +1
Different forms of customized 2D avatars are widely used in gaming applications, virtual communication, education, and content creation. However, existing approaches often fail to…
GIFT: Gradient-aware Immunization of diffusion models against malicious Fine-Tuning with safe concepts retention
Amro Abdalla, Ismail Shaheen, Dan DeGenaro +3
We present GIFT: a {G}radient-aware {I}mmunization technique to defend diffusion models against malicious {F}ine-{T}uning while preserving their ability to generate safe content. E…
A Manually Annotated Image-Caption Dataset for Detecting Children in the Wild
Klim Kireev, Ana-Maria Creţu, Raphael Meier +3
Platforms and the law regulate digital content depicting minors (defined as individuals under 18 years of age) differently from other types of content. Given the sheer amount of co…
ViSTA: Visual Storytelling using Multi-modal Adapters for Text-to-Image Diffusion Models
Sibo Dong, Ismail Shaheen, Maggie Shen +2
Text-to-image diffusion models have achieved remarkable success, yet generating coherent image sequences for visual storytelling remains challenging. A key challenge is effectively…
GenEAva: Generating Cartoon Avatars with Fine-Grained Facial Expressions from Realistic Diffusion-based Faces
Hao Yu, Rupayan Mallick, Margrit Betke +1
Cartoon avatars have been widely used in various applications, including social media, online tutoring, and gaming. However, existing cartoon avatar datasets and generation methods…
ZeroWaste Dataset: Towards Deformable Object Segmentation in Cluttered Scenes
Dina Bashkirova, Mohamed Abdelfattah, Ziliang Zhu +7
Less than 35% of recyclable waste is being actually recycled in the US, which leads to increased soil and sea pollution and is one of the major concerns of environmental researcher…
