# CSE5519 Advances in Computer Vision (Topic H: 2023: Safety, Robustness, and Evaluation of CV Models) ## How to backdoor diffusion models [link to paper](https://openaccess.thecvf.com/content/CVPR2023/papers/Chou_How_to_Backdoor_Diffusion_Models_CVPR_2023_paper.pdf ) > [!TIP] > > This is an interesting paper showing that it is possible to backdoor a diffusion model with high utility and high specificity at a low cost compared to per-training. > > I wonder how this technique could possibly be used for AI watermarking and reliably detected with other AI operations? > > And there are many metrics and loss functions used in this paper, I wonder what objectives they are trying to optimize, and looking for more clarification on the presentation.
