When Pretty Isn't Useful: Investigating Why Modern Text-to-Image Models Fail as Reliable Training Data Generators

Accepted to CVPR 2026
We show that newer text-to-image models are progressively worse as training data generators, despite better visual quality, because they collapse to a narrow aesthetic-centric distribution that diverges from real data.

HyperCore: Coreset Selection under Noise via Hypersphere Models

Accepted to ICPR 2026
We present HyperCore, a lightweight adaptive coreset selection framework designed for noisy environments. HyperCore utilizes per class hypersphere models and adaptively selects pruning thresholds.

Which Transformer to Favor: A Comparative Analysis of Efficiency in Vision Transformers

WACV 2025
A comprehensive benchmark and analysis of more than 45 transformer models for image classification to evaluate their efficiency, considering various performance metrics. We find the optimal architectures to use and uncover that model-scaling is more efficient than image scaling.

TaylorShift: Shifting the Complexity of Self-Attention from Squared to Linear (and Back) using Taylor-Softmax

ICPR 2024 (oral)
This paper introduces TaylorShift, a novel reformulation of the attention mechanism using Taylor softmax that enables computing full token-to-token interactions in linear time. We analytically and empirically determine the crossover points where employing TaylorShift becomes more efficient than traditional attention. TaylorShift outperforms the traditional transformer architecture in 4 out of 5 tasks.
