• Abstract: Image classifiers should be used with caution in the real world. Performance evaluated on a validation set may not reflect performance in the real world. In particular, classifiers may perform well for conditions that are frequently encountered during training, but poorly for other infrequent conditions. In this study, we hypothesize that recent advances in text-to-image generative models make them valuable for benchmarking computer vision models such as image classifiers: they can generate images conditioned by textual prompts that cause classifier failures, allowing failure conditions to be described with textual attributes. However, their generation cost becomes an issue when a large number of synthetic images need to be generated, which is the case when many different attribute combinations need to be tested. We propose an image classifier benchmarking method as an iterative process that alternates image generation, classifier evaluation, and attribute selection. This method efficiently explores the attributes that ultimately lead to poor behavior detection.

  We propose a non-invasive fine-tuning technique that capitalizes on the expressive potential of free-form text. Our method is fast compared to prior fine-tuning methods and does not require a collection of in-class images. We evaluate our method extensively, showing that the generated images are: (i) more accurate and of higher quality than standard diffusion models, (ii) can be used to augment training data in a low-resource setting, and (iii) reveal information about the data used to train the guiding classifier.

We propose a mask-based reconstruction module to make semantic gradients-aware to synthesize plausible images. We show that our method is also applicable to text-to-image generation by regarding image-text foundation models.

The resulting captions are much less restrictive than those obtained by supervised captioning methods.

  generative models can synthesize "views" of artificial images that mimic real-world variations, such as changes in color or pose. Here, we investigate whether such views can be applied to real images to benefit downstream analysis tasks such as image classification. We use StyleGAN2 as the source of generative augmentations and investigate this setup on classification tasks involving facial attributes, cat faces, and cars.
