FoolSDEdit: Deceptively Steering Your Edits Towards Targeted Attribute-aware Distribution

2024-02-06 · Qi Zhou, Dongxia Wang, Tianlin Li, Zhihong Xu, Yang Liu, Kui Ren, Wenhai Wang, Qing Guo

Guided image synthesis methods, like SDEdit based on the diffusion model, excel at creating realistic images from user inputs such as stroke paintings. However, existing efforts mainly focus on image quality, often overlooking a key point: the diffusion model represents a data distribution, not individual images. This introduces a low but critical chance of generating images that contradict user intentions, raising ethical concerns. For example, a user inputting a stroke painting with female characteristics might, with some probability, get male faces from SDEdit. To expose this potential vulnerability, we aim to build an adversarial attack forcing SDEdit to generate a specific data distribution aligned with a specified attribute (e.g., female), without changing the input's attribute characteristics. We propose the Targeted Attribute Generative Attack (TAGA), using an attribute-aware objective function and optimizing the adversarial noise added to the input stroke painting. Empirical studies reveal that traditional adversarial noise struggles with TAGA, while natural perturbations like exposure and motion blur easily alter generated images' attributes. To execute effective attacks, we introduce FoolSDEdit: We design a joint adversarial exposure and blur attack, adding exposure and motion blur to the stroke painting and optimizing them together. We optimize the execution strategy of various perturbations, framing it as a network architecture search problem. We create the SuperPert, a graph representing diverse execution strategies for different perturbations. After training, we obtain the optimized execution strategy for effective TAGA against SDEdit. Comprehensive experiments on two datasets show our method compelling SDEdit to generate a targeted attribute-aware data distribution, significantly outperforming baselines.

Precise Debugging Benchmark: Is Your Model Debugging or Regenerating?

2026-04-19 · Wang Bill Zhu, Miaosen Chai, Shangshang Wang, Yejia Liu 외 arxiv

Unlike code completion, debugging requires localizing faults and applying targeted edits. We observe that frontier LLMs often regenerate correct but over-edited solutions during debugging. To evaluate how far LLMs are fr…
