Anudeep Das, Vasisht Duddu, Rui Zhang and N. Asokan have received the Best Paper Award at CODASPY 2025, the 15th ACM Conference on Data and Application Security and Privacy. Their paper, Espresso: Robust Concept Filtering in Text-to-Image Models, introduces a new technique to improve the effectiveness, safety and reliability of generative AI systems that create images from natural language text prompts.
“Congrats to the team,” said Raouf Boutaba, University Professor and Director of the Cheriton School of Computer Science. “Text-to-image generative AI models have many creative uses, but they also raise significant concerns. The research Anudeep, Vasisht, Rui and Asokan have conducted adds to the growing body of work to help ensure these models are not misused and abused.”
