3D human registration has historically been treated as a regression task, assuming a unique ground-truth alignment exists between the template and an input point cloud. In reality, acquisition noise, occlusions, and unknown soft tissue dynamics introduce inherent ambiguity into human scans. Regression-based methods consequently converge to an average prediction, often failing to represent a plausible geometry. In our work, we embrace such uncertainty by modeling the registration as a distribution of alignments. We propose ODin, which formulates registration as a 3D diffusion process that generates a point cloud aligned with the target geometry while preserving template semantics through consistent point ordering. To achieve this, ODin relies on global, local, and positional conditioning, guiding each point to its correct location. Our experiments demonstrate that such a generative formulation not only outperforms its regression-based baseline, but also establishes a new state of the art, surpassing highly engineered methods while reducing the registration time by two-thirds.

Vision and vision-language models rely on high-level visual representations that are increasingly used across recognition, retrieval, and multimodal reasoning pipelines. However, recent advances in generative modeling have shown that such features can often be inverted, enabling realistic reconstructions of the underlying image and raising significant privacy risks. We revisit this problem through the lens of reconstruction and propose TrustCLIP, a reconstruction-driven framework that treats a feature-conditioned generator as an explicit privacy adversary. TrustCLIP learns a projection between encoder features and downstream modules that is explicitly optimized to degrade the reconstructions produced by generative attackers while retaining the necessary signals for downstream tasks. Unlike prior defenses that rely on discriminative privacy metrics, TrustCLIP directly optimizes against a generative reconstruction attacker, targeting a threat not captured by standard evaluation protocols. We demonstrate its effectiveness in both conventional classification and multimodal large language model pipelines. Across these settings, TrustCLIP consistently reduces the fidelity of generative inversions while maintaining downstream task performance. Project page: https://atnikos.github.io/trustclip/
