Embedding Arithmetic: A Lightweight, Tuning-Free Framework for Post-hoc Bias Mitigation in Text-to-Image Models

Modern text-to-image (T2I) models amplify harmful societal biases, challenging their ethical deployment. We introduce an inference-time method that reliably mitigates social bias while keeping prompt semantics and visual context (background, layout, and style) intact. This ensures context persistency and provides a controllable parameter to adjust mitigation strength, giving practitioners fine-gra...

Geometry-Guided 3D Visual Token Pruning for Video-Language Models

Multimodal large language models have demonstrated remarkable capabilities in 2D vision, motivating their extension to 3D scene understanding. Recent studies represent 3D scenes as 3D spatial videos composed of image sequences with depth and camera pose information, enabling pre-trained video-language models to perform 3D reasoning tasks. However, the large number of visual tokens in spatial video...
