Noise Aggregation Analysis Driven by Small-Noise Injection: Efficient Membership Inference for Diffusion Models

SCALEX is a newly introduced framework designed for scalable and automated exploration of latent spaces in diffusion models. It addresses the issue of social biases, such as gender and racial stereotypes, that are often encoded in image generation models. By utilizing natural language prompts, SCALEX enables zero-shot interpretation, allowing for systematic comparisons across various concepts and facilitating the discovery of internal model associations without the need for retraining or labeling.

Recent advancements in autoregressive (AR) models have demonstrated significant potential in image generation, surpassing diffusion-based methods in scalability and integration with multi-modal systems. However, challenges remain in extending AR models to general image editing due to inefficient conditioning, which can result in poor adherence to instructions and visual artifacts. To tackle these issues, the proposed SCAR method introduces Compressed Semantic Prefilling and Semantic Alignment Guidance, enhancing the fidelity of instructions during the autoregressive decoding process.

The paper titled 'Optimizing Input of Denoising Score Matching is Biased Towards Higher Score Norm' discusses the implications of using denoising score matching in optimizing diffusion models. It reveals that this optimization disrupts the equivalence between denoising score matching and exact score matching, resulting in a bias that favors higher score norms. The study also highlights similar biases in optimizing data distributions with pre-trained diffusion models, affecting various applications such as MAR, PerCo, and DreamFusion.

The article presents CLUE (Controllable Latent space of Unprompted Embeddings), a generative model framework designed for text-to-image synthesis. CLUE aims to generate diverse images while ensuring stability, utilizing fixed-format prompts without the need for additional data. Built on the Stable Diffusion architecture, it incorporates a Style Encoder to create style embeddings, which are processed through a new attention layer in the U-Net. This approach addresses challenges faced in specialized fields like medicine, where data is often limited.

The article discusses advancements in multi-target adversarial attacks, highlighting the limitations of current generative methods that use one-dimensional tensors for target label encoding. It emphasizes the importance of both the quality and quantity of semantic features in enhancing the transferability of these attacks. A new framework, 2D Tensor-Guided Adversarial Fusion (TGAF), is proposed to improve the encoding process by leveraging diffusion models, ensuring that generated noise retains complete semantic information.

Vision-Language Models (VLMs) are emerging models that integrate visual content with natural language. Current methods typically fuse data either early in the encoding process or late through pooled embeddings. This paper introduces a lightweight fusion module utilizing cross-only, bidirectional attention layers to align hidden states from both modalities, enhancing understanding while keeping encoders non-causal. The proposed method aims to improve the performance of VLMs by leveraging the inherent structure of visual and textual data.

Artificial intelligence (AI) in media has seen rapid advancements over the past decade, particularly with the introduction of Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) and diffusion models, which have enhanced photorealistic image generation. However, these developments have also led to challenges in distinguishing between real and synthetic content, as evidenced by the rise of deepfakes. Many detection models utilizing deep learning methods like Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and Vision Transformers (ViTs) have been created, but they often struggle with generalization and multimodal data.

Higher-order Neural Additive Models (HONAMs) have been introduced as an advancement over Neural Additive Models (NAMs), which are known for their predictive performance and interpretability. HONAMs address the limitation of NAMs by effectively capturing feature interactions of arbitrary orders, enhancing predictive accuracy while maintaining interpretability, crucial for high-stakes applications. The source code for HONAM is publicly available on GitHub.
