Taming Outlier Tokens in Diffusion Transformers
Dual-Stage Registers reduce harmful outlier tokens in both vision encoders and diffusion transformers, improving generation quality across ImageNet and text-to-image settings.
I study privacy, security, and copyright questions in generative models, alongside practical methods for making diffusion models more reliable. My recent work focuses on data extraction, machine unlearning, membership inference, and representation-space generation.

We identify a corruption stage during few-shot diffusion fine-tuning and use Bayesian neural networks to improve fidelity, quality, and diversity without extra inference cost.

Exact unlearning can still leak removed examples when pre- and post-unlearning models are exposed; our guided attack doubles extraction success in some settings.
