Concept-based vision models represent images through an intermediate layer of human-inspectable concepts, so what a model relies on can be traced to those concepts. However, those models are often limited to fixed categories or depend on language to define their concepts. We introduce DisParQ (Discrete Parts with Quant …

Concept bottleneck models (CBMs) make predictions inspectable and intervenable by routing them through human-interpretable concepts, but originally required concept annotations. Annotation-free variants remove this requirement, but typically use large concept vocabularies, static at both training and inference, produci …

As state-of-the-art text-to-image flow models achieve near-photorealistic quality, controlling their outputs, e.g., suppressing harmful content while promoting benign alternatives, has become a central challenge. The current steering paradigm consists of adding a global steering vector to selected activations. While fu …
