Steering Fields: Adaptive Vector Fields for Safe Image Generation and Beyond

Read the original on arXiv AI →

Steering Fields introduce adaptive vector fields that re-estimate steering directions at each step of a flow-based text-to-image generation process, replacing the fixed global steering vectors traditionally used. By operating on noisy states, they provide a continuous trade-off between steering strength and content preservation, and allow simultaneous induction and inhibition of concepts without explicit spatial masks or object priors. The method achieves state-of-the-art safety steering benchmarks and can also function as a structure-preserving image-editing technique, delivering high semantic fidelity while remaining model-agnostic and inversion-free.

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.
