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.

GRACE is a new framework for concept erasure in text-to-image diffusion models that uses a semantically weighted sensitive subspace to guide localized interventions and lightweight subspace-constrained adapters to avoid global semantic disruption. It replaces manual counterfactual prompts with an automatically decoupled safe-anchor mechanism and controls intervention strength through an energy-driven dynamic gating system. Experiments show GRACE improves NSFW reduction by 17.86% over five state-of-the-art methods while also reducing target CLIP Score and FID, indicating stronger concept suppression with better preservation of generative quality.
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:2608. 05783v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Machine unlearning has become a critical capability for safely removing specific, sensitive knowledge from large language models (LLMs).
Concept erasure aims to remove a target concept from a representation while preserving the other information encoded in it. This is difficult because representations encode many concepts that are often correlated with the erasure target, so removing the target risks damaging them.

The paper introduces Diffusion LAIR, a listwise preference optimization technique that leverages continuous reward scores instead of binary pairwise comparisons to align text‑to‑image diffusion models. LAIR transforms reward scores into centered advantage weights and optimizes an advantage‑weighted regression objective on an implicit reward defined by denoising‑loss improvement over a reference model, with a quadratic penalty to regulate reward magnitude. Experiments demonstrate that Diffusion LAIR surpasses strong baseline methods on SD1.5 and SDXL across generation, compositional, and editing tasks.
