πŸ”Ή Title: Backdooring Bias into Text-to-Image Models

πŸ”Έ Presenter: Mehrdad Aksari Mahabadi

πŸŒ€ Abstract:
This paper investigates the misuse of text-conditional diffusion models, particularly text-to-image models, which create visually appealing images based on user descriptions. While these images generally represent harmless concepts, they can be manipulated for harmful purposes like propaganda. The authors show that adversaries can introduce biases through backdoor attacks, affecting even well-meaning users. Despite users verifying image-text alignment, the attack remains hidden by preserving the text's semantic content while altering other image features to embed biases, amplifying them by 4-8 times. The study reveals that current generative models make such attacks cost-effective and feasible, with costs ranging from 12 to 18 units. Various triggers, objectives, and biases are evaluated, with discussions on mitigations and future research directions.

At a time when the Indian stock market is peaking and has rallied immensely compared to global markets, there are companies that have not performed in the last 10 years. These are definitely a minor portion of the market considering there are hundreds of stocks that have turned multibagger since 2020. What went wrong with these stocks? Reasons vary from corporate governance, sectoral weakness, company specific and so on. But the more important question is, are these stocks worth buying?

Spiking bond yields driving sharp losses in tech stocks

A spike in interest rates since the start of the year has accelerated a rotation out of high-growth technology stocks and into value stocks poised to benefit from a reopening of the economy. The Nasdaq has fallen more than 10% over the past month as the Dow has soared to record highs, with a spike in the 10-year US Treasury yield acting as the main catalyst. It recently surged to a cycle high of more than 1.60% after starting the year below 1%. But according to Jim Paulsen, the Leuthold Group's chief investment strategist, rising interest rates do not represent a long-term threat to the stock market. Paulsen expects the 10-year yield to cross 2% by the end of the year. A spike in interest rates and its impact on the stock market depends on the economic backdrop, according to Paulsen. Rising interest rates amid a strengthening economy "may prove no challenge at all for stocks," Paulsen said.
