AnchorDiff: Training-Free Concept Grounding for MM-DiTs via Anchor-Based Graph Propagation

Multi-Modal Diffusion Transformers (MM-DiTs) encode rich representations for training-free concept grounding, but existing attention-based methods often produce overlapping activations on visually confusable concepts, a failure mode we call concept leakage, where target responses spill over to non-target objects. To address this issue, we propose AnchorDiff, a training-free grounding method that decouples semantic localization from structural refinement. AnchorDiff selects a high-confidence anchor from concept-to-image attention map and propagates it as a one-hot seed over a hybrid graph derived from image-to-image self-attention. The graph uses output-space similarity for dense within-ob...
