Padding Tone: A Mechanistic Analysis of Padding Tokens in T2I Models (2025.naacl-long)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Text-to-image (T2I) diffusion models rely on encoded prompts to guide the image generation process. |
| Approach: | They conduct the first in-depth analysis of the role padding tokens play in T2I diffusion models by using two causal techniques to analyze how information is encoded in the representation of tokens across different components of the pipeline. |
| Outcome: | The proposed techniques reveal that padding tokens may affect the model’s output during text encoding, during the diffusion process, or be effectively ignored. |
