• Abstract summary: We propose an automated algorithm to stress-test a trained visual model by generating language-guided counterfactual test images (LANCE) Our method leverages recent progress in large language modeling and text-based image editing to augment an IID test set with a suite of diverse, realistic, and challenging test images without altering model weights.

• Abstract: We propose an automated algorithm to stress-test a trained visual model by generating language-guided counterfactual test images (LANCE). Our method leverages recent progress in large language modeling and text-based image editing to augment an IID test set with a suite of diverse, realistic, and challenging test images without altering model weights. We benchmark the performance of a diverse set of pre-trained models on our generated data and observe significant and consistent performance drops. We further analyze model sensitivity across different types of edits, and demonstrate its applicability at surfacing previously unknown class-level model biases in ImageNet. Code is available at https://github.com/virajprabhu/lance.

  We introduce a new metric called Visual Language Evaluation Understudy (VLEU) VLEU quantifies a model's generalizability by computing the Kullback-Leibler divergence between the marginal distribution of the visual text and the conditional distribution of the images generated by the model. Our experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of VLEU in evaluating the generalization capability of various T2I models.

  This paper proposes a novel framework to reinforce classification models using language-guided generated counterfactual images. We identify model weaknesses by testing the model using the counterfactual image dataset. We employ the counterfactual images as an augmented dataset to fine-tune and reinforce the classification model.

  generative models can be great test-time adapters for discriminative models. Our method, Diffusion-TTA, adapts pre-trained discriminative models to each unlabelled example in the test set. We show Diffusion-TTA significantly enhances the accuracy of various large-scale pre-trained discriminative models.

  We introduce the problem of adapting text line recognition models during test time. We propose an iterative self-training approach that uses feedback from the language model to update the optical model. Experimental results show that the proposed adaptation method offers an absolute improvement of up to 8% in character error rate.
