Nicky Kriplani

I am a PhD student at Cornell Tech, advised by Hadar Elor and Angelina Wang. Before that, I studied computer science at the NYU Tandon School of Engineering, and I worked as a Software Engineer at Atlassian, where I worked on automating the release process for Jira Align.

My research interests are broadly in computer vision and the messy aspects of real-world ML such as fairness, privacy, and abuse.

SolidMark: Evaluating Image Memorization in Generative Models
SolidMark: Evaluating Image Memorization in Generative Models

Nicky Kriplani, Minh Pham, Gowthami Somepalli, Chinmay Hegde, Niv Cohen

arXiv preprint arXiv:2503.00592

This paper introduces SolidMark, a new evaluation method that provides per-image memorization scores to better detect when diffusion models have memorized specific training images. We use SolidMark to re-evaluate existing memorization mitigation techniques and demonstrate its ability to assess pixel-level memorization in generative models.
