EquiSteer: Cross-Attention Steering Towards a Fairer Text-Guided Image Generation

Text-to-image diffusion models power everyday creative tasks, but they still reproduce the demographic biases in their training data. On common prompts such as ``a photo of a nurse,'' ``a photo of a CEO'', they skew their outputs toward one gender, driven by the statistics of training data rather than anything in the text. Existing debiasing methods show promise in narrow settings but require retraining, batch-level control, or prompt-specific tuning, limiting their scalability. We propose \emph{EquiSteer}, a training-free method that works per sample by steering cross-attention (CA) activatio
