PRISM: Reducing Spurious Implicit Biases in Vision-Language Models with LLM-Guided Embedding Projection
Mahdiyar Molahasani, Azadeh Motamedi, Michael Greenspan +2
We introduce Projection-based Reduction of Implicit Spurious bias in vision-language Models (PRISM), a new data-free and task-agnostic solution for bias mitigation in VLMs like CLI…
Federated Domain Generalization with Label Smoothing and Balanced Decentralized Training
Milad Soltany, Farhad Pourpanah, Mahdiyar Molahasani +2
In this paper, we propose a novel approach, Federated Domain Generalization with Label Smoothing and Balanced Decentralized Training (FedSB), to address the challenges of data hete…
AI-Powered Low-Order Focal Plane Wavefront Sensing in Infrared
Mojtaba Taheri, Mahdiyar Molahasani, Sam Ragland +2
Adaptive optics (AO) systems are crucial for high-resolution astronomical observations by compensating for atmospheric turbulence. While laser guide stars (LGS) address high-order…
Federated Unsupervised Domain Generalization using Global and Local Alignment of Gradients
Farhad Pourpanah, Mahdiyar Molahasani, Milad Soltany +2
We address the problem of federated domain generalization in an unsupervised setting for the first time. We first theoretically establish a connection between domain shift and alig…
