arXiv:2607. 22544v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Visual counterfactual explanations aim to answer "what minimal change to this image would flip the model's prediction?
arXiv:2606. 31699v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Sparse autoencoders (SAEs) have recently been proposed as interpretable tools for concept-level manipulation, under the assumption that isolated features can serve as controllable intervention points.
Self-improvement for multimodal large language models (MLLMs) is typically driven by reward-based methods that provide only coarse scalar feedback. Distillation offers a richer alternative through dense token-level supervision, but in the visual domain it usually depends on privileged context constructed using external annotations and tools, or stronger models.
arXiv:2607. 12464v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: When labeled data are scarce, off-the-shelf diffusion models can augment training sets for few-shot medical image classification, but not all generated samples are equally useful for the downstream task.
arXiv:2506. 03933v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Vision Language Models (VLMs) have shown remarkable capabilities in multimodal understanding, yet their susceptibility to adversarial perturbations poses a significant threat to their reliability in real-world applications.
Unlike diffusion-based models that operate in continuous latent spaces, autoregressive unified multimodal models produce images by sequentially predicting discretized visual tokens. These tokens are derived from a codebook that maps embeddings to quantized visual patterns.
arXiv:2607. 10580v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: AI models are increasingly trained on personal images scraped from social media and public platforms, often without consent, leading to serious privacy violations, such as unauthorized facial recognition and targeted advertising.
arXiv:2607. 03831v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Diffusion models have recently been repurposed for zero-shot classification, giving rise to diffusion classifiers that identify the best-matching text prompt by minimizing the noise-prediction error.
arXiv:2608. 01821v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Diffusion vision-language models (dVLMs) iteratively denoise masked responses while conditioning each denoising step on visual evidence, making visual conditioning a substantial recurring inference cost.
arXiv:2607. 06445v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-Language Models (VLMs) are increasingly utilized as the conditioning backbone for diffusion-based image editing due to their remarkable multimodal reasoning capabilities.
arXiv:2606. 25548v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Image generative models are trained on massive, largely uncurated internet-scale datasets that contain undesirable visual concepts.
arXiv:2607. 16311v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-language models (VLMs) often answer visual questions using learned language and category priors rather than grounding their predictions in the image itself.
arXiv:2606. 00105v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have achieved remarkable progress on vision-language tasks, but they may also memorize and expose sensitive or restricted knowledge, raising concerns about privacy and broader safety risks.
