  1. Abstract. We present 4Diff, a 3D-aware diffusion model addressing the exo-to-ego viewpoint translation task—generating first-person (egocentric) view images from the corresponding third-person (exocentric) images. Building on the diffusion model’s ability to generate photorealistic images, we propose a transformer-based diffusion model that incorporates geometry priors through two mechanisms: (i) egocentric point cloud rasterization and (ii) 3D-aware rotary cross-attention. Egocentric point cloud rasterization converts the input exocentric image into an egocentric layout, which is subsequently used by a diffusion image transformer. As a component of the diffusion transformer’s denoiser block, the 3D-aware rotary cross-attention further incorporates 3D information and semantic features from the source exocentric view. Our 4Diff achieves state-of-the-art results on the challenging and diverse Ego-Exo4D multiview dataset and exhibits robust generalization to novel environments not encountered during training. Our code, processed data, and pretrained models are publicly available at https://klauscc.github.io/4diff.

  2. In pretraining data detection, the goal is to detect whether a given sentence is in the dataset used for training a Large Language Model LLM). Recent methods (such as Min-K % and Min-K%++) reveal that most training corpora are likely contaminated with both sensitive content and evaluation benchmarks, leading to inflated test set performance. These methods sometimes fail to detect samples from the pretraining data, primarily because they depend on statistics composed of causal token likelihoods. We introduce Infilling Score, a new test-statistic based on non-causal token likelihoods. Infilling Score can be computed for autoregressive models without re-training using Bayes rule. A naive application of Bayes rule scales linearly with the vocabulary size. However, we propose a ratio test-statistic whose computation is invariant to vocabulary size. Empirically, our method achieves a significant accuracy gain over state-of-the-art methods including Min-K%, and Min-K%++ on the WikiMIA benchmark across seven models with different parameter sizes. Further, we achieve higher AUC compared to reference-free methods on the challenging MIMIR benchmark. Finally, we create a benchmark dataset consisting of recent data sources published after the release of Llama-3; this benchmark provides a statistical baseline to indicate potential corpora used for Llama-3 training.
