EraseSAE is a framework for surgical concept erasure in text-to-video diffusion models. It uses a Partitioned Convolutional Sparse Autoencoder to decompose activations into interpretable sparse features, a contrastive attribution mechanism to isolate concept-specific kernels, and timestep‑resolved masks to confine erasure to active regions. Experiments show precise removal with minimal quality loss, outperforming existing methods.
EraseSAE introduces a surgical concept erasure method for text-to-video diffusion models, using sparse autoencoders to decompose activations into interpretable, monosemantic features. The framework employs a contrastive attribution mechanism to isolate concept-specific kernels and applies timestep-resolved masks during inference to remove target concepts while preserving unrelated content. Experiments show that EraseSAE achieves precise, robust concept removal with minimal quality loss, outperforming existing methods.

The article surveys how diffusion and flow-based generative models learn rich visual representations and how these representations can be used to improve generation and other perception tasks. It introduces a three-tier framework that categorizes work into improving generative quality via representation learning, extracting representations for perception, and developing unified applications. The survey covers downstream tasks such as image classification, dense prediction, instance-level perception, and annotation-scarce scenarios, offering a taxonomy and highlighting future research directions.
FOMO is a training‑based selective video unlearning method that prioritizes preserving the original scene while removing targeted concepts. It localizes concept‑related representations for modification and employs a preservation mechanism that maintains non‑target scene information without auxiliary data. The approach extends to motion unlearning, enabling removal of concepts defined by temporal behavior, and achieves a strong balance between concept removal and scene preservation.
