arXiv:2607. 23492v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Concept erasure techniques (CETs) edit text-to-image diffusion models to erase undesired targets such as NSFW content or copyrighted styles, while preserving model utility on benign concepts.
By Shaswati Saha, Rajasekhar Anguluri, Manas Gaur
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.

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.

Although text-to-image diffusion models exhibit remarkable generative power, concept erasure techniques are essential for preventing harmful content. Existing adversarial probes evaluate these methods by testing whether erased concepts can still be recovered.
Vision-Language Models (VLMs), like Large Language Models (LLMs), may memorize sensitive, copyrighted, or harmful knowledge from their pretraining corpora. Removing such knowledge is essential for building trustworthy AI systems.
