arXiv:2607. 06432v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Concept unlearning in text-to-image diffusion models is critical for safe and practical deployment: with rising privacy concerns, copyright disputes, trademark constraints, and safety regulations, deployed systems must be able to suppress unwanted concepts after training.

arXiv:2606. 03808v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We propose PURGE, a machine unlearning algorithm built on a simple but an under-exploited observation: continual learning (CL) and machine unlearning (MU) which are fundamentally dual problems.

Training-free concept erasure is an attractive mechanism for controlling text-to-image diffusion models, but precise erasure often comes at the cost of damaging semantically related non-target concepts. Existing value-space methods remove the component of each cross-attention value along the target concept direction, implicitly treating target identity and shared visual structure as the same signal.
arXiv:2604. 02183v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Multimodal recommendation systems (MRS) jointly model user-item interaction graphs and rich item content, but this tight coupling makes user data difficult to remove once learned.

Diffusion unlearning is essential for mitigating the generation of harmful or copyrighted content in text-to-image models. Current diffusion unlearning techniques determine the model update direction by either using alternatives of the target concept as an anchor or using empty prompts.
arXiv:2507. 07754v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Machine unlearning is usually evaluated by what the classifier outputs: forget-set accuracy, confidence, membership-inference scores.
