ToPO: Token-Oriented Preference Optimization for Text-to-Image Diffusion Models

Diffusion models have achieved remarkable success in text-to-image generation, yet aligning their outputs with human preferences remains challenging. Diffusion-DPO learns from image preference pairs, but their global labels do not specify how supervision should be allocated across spatial locations and denoising timest...

SUGFW+: An Uncertainty-guided Feature Weighting Framework for Cold Start Active Adaptation of SAM in Medical Image Segmentation

An extended SAM-based Uncertainty-guided Feature Weighting (SUGFW+) framework for CSAL and adaptation of SAM that leverages the SAM for Patch-level Feature and Uncertainty Calculation (PFUC), and introduces a Patch-based Global Distinct Representation (PGDR) module that aggregates patch-level embeddings into highly dis...

Rectify Then Diffuse: Disentangling Concepts Before Denoising Trajectory Unfolds

Text-to-image diffusion models can generate individual concepts well, but they often omit or merge concepts incorrectly with multiple concepts. We trace these failures to an early coordination bottleneck: before denoising begins, prompt-conditioned attention may allocate different concepts to strongly overlapping spati...

One Knob to Rule Them All: A Unified Optimal Transport View of Cold-Start Active Learning

A theoretical analysis that characterizes the trade-off controlled by entropic regularization and establishes a task-agnostic minimax bound for cold-start selection and a novel Sinkhorn-based CSAL algorithm, termed $\epsilon$-Adaptive Selection ($\epsilon$-AS).
