Decoupled Safety Control: A Safety-Control Algorithm for Training-Free Safety Guidance

Read the original on arXiv Computer Vision →

Decoupled Safety Control (DSC) is a plug‑in algorithm that improves training‑free safety guidance for diffusion models by separating the unsafe condition from the intervention process. Unlike existing coupled safety‑control chains, DSC determines the intervention based on the current generation state, reducing residual unsafe content and preserving benign‑generation quality. Experiments on standard safety benchmarks demonstrate that DSC achieves stronger unsafe‑content suppression while maintaining efficient inference.

Do Models Share Safety Representations? Cross-Model Steering for Safe Visual Generation

arXiv:2606. 05290v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent progress in generative modeling has made safety control a central challenge, yet existing approaches remain largely model-specific, requiring retraining or tailored interventions for each new architecture.

Keep It CALM: Analyzing the Limits of Global Unsafety in Text-to-Image Generation

The paper examines the limitations of global unsafety signals used in training‑free safeguards for text‑to‑image generation, showing a trade‑off between coverage and selectivity. It introduces CALM, a counterfactual adaptive local modulation method that locally corrects unsafe token representations while preserving benign content. Experiments demonstrate that CALM outperforms global removal approaches in suppressing unsafe content without compromising utility.

InGuard: Towards Generalized Inner Guardrail for Safe Text-to-Image Generation

InGuard introduces an inner guardrail for text-to-image generation that operates within the model’s own representations, avoiding external classifiers. It grades prompts using the text encoder’s embeddings, modifies risky embeddings with SAGE to produce safe images, and employs a latent detector to halt generation early. Evaluated on the RevGen Safety Benchmark, InGuard achieves a 97.9–98.8% safety rate across five open-weight models while reducing benign disturbances, model parameters, and denoising steps.
