  1. SDGBiasBench: Benchmarking and Mitigating Vision--Language Models' Biases in Sustainable Development Goals

    Researchers have introduced SDGBiasBench, a new benchmark designed to evaluate and mitigate biases in vision-language models (VLMs) concerning the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The benchmark includes over 500,000 multiple-choice questions and 50,000 regression tasks, revealing that current VLMs often rely on SDG-specific priors rather than visual evidence. To address this, the team developed CADE, a training-free method that improves model accuracy by up to 25% and reduces estimation errors by 12 points. AI

  2. Improving Diffusion Posterior Samplers with Lagged Temporal Corrections for Image Restoration

    Researchers have developed new methods to improve diffusion models for various inverse problems. One approach, AVIS, uses autoregressive diffusion models to accelerate video restoration, significantly reducing latency and increasing throughput. Another development, LAMP, enhances diffusion posterior samplers by incorporating lagged temporal corrections for image restoration tasks. Additionally, Stein Diffusion Guidance (SDG) offers a training-free framework for posterior correction, enabling more effective guidance in low-density regions for tasks like image generation and protein docking.
