• Abstract: An important milestone for AI is the development of algorithms that can produce drawings that are indistinguishable from those of humans. Here, we adapt the 'diversity vs. recognizability' scoring framework from Boutin et al, 2022 and find that one-shot diffusion models have indeed started to close the gap between humans and machines. However, using a finer-grained measure of the originality of individual samples, we show that strengthening the guidance of diffusion models helps improve the humanness of their drawings, but they still fall short of approximating the originality and recognizability of human drawings. Comparing human category diagnostic features, collected through an online psychophysics experiment, against those derived from diffusion models reveals that humans rely on fewer and more localized features. Overall, our study suggests that diffusion models have significantly helped improve the quality of machine-generated drawings; however, a gap between humans and machines remains -- in part explainable by discrepancies in visual strategies.

  We show that, in the eyes of classifiers parameterized by neural networks, the strongest diffusion models are still far from this goal. Our comprehensive empirical study suggests that, unlike humans, classifiers tend to classify images through edge and high-frequency components.

  Existing multi-person human reconstruction approaches mainly focus on recovering accurate poses or avoiding penetration. In this work, we tackle the task of reconstructing closely interactive humans from a monocular video. We propose to leverage knowledge from proxemic behavior and physics to compensate the lack of visual information.

  We introduce a novel all-in-one-stage framework, AiOS, for expressive human pose and shape recovery without an additional human detection step. We first employ a human token to probe a human location in the image and encode global features for each instance. Then, we introduce a joint-related token to probe the human joint in the image and encoder a fine-grained local feature.

  Diffusion models trained on real-world datasets often yield inferior fidelity for tail classes. Deep generative models, including diffusion models, are biased towards classes with abundant training images. We propose a method based on contrastive learning to minimize the overlap between distributions of synthetic images for different classes.

  We propose a simple yet effective framework comprising a pre-trained Stable Diffusion (SD) model containing rich generative priors, a unified head (U-head) capable of integrating hierarchical representations, and an adapted expert providing discriminative priors. Comprehensive investigations unveil potential characteristics of Vermouth, such as varying granularity of perception concealed in latent variables at distinct time steps and various U-net stages. The promising results demonstrate the potential of diffusion models as formidable learners, establishing their significance in furnishing informative and robust visual representations.

• Intriguing properties of generative classifiers [14.57861413242093]
  We build on advances in generative modeling that turn text-to-image models into classifiers. They show a record-breaking human-like shape bias (99% for Imagen), near human-level out-of-distribution accuracy, state-of-the-art alignment with human classification errors. Our results indicate that while the current dominant paradigm for modeling human object recognition is discriminative inference, zero-shot generative models approximate human object recognition data surprisingly well.
