The paper introduces CEASE, a training‑free method for continual concept erasure in text‑to‑image diffusion models. CEASE imposes two subspace constraints on a closed‑form solver to prevent interference across successive erasures, ensuring that new targets can be removed without undoing previously erased concepts. Experiments on erasing celebrities, artistic styles, and specific instances show that CEASE consistently balances erasure and preservation better than existing methods, which either degrade general generation or fail to fully erase targets.

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.

STAGE is a training‑free, closed‑form framework for concept erasure in native text‑to‑3D generators. It treats erasure as a stage‑aware editing problem, applying low‑dimensional affine corrections separately to the structural and appearance stages of the pipeline. Experiments on the TRELLIS generator show that STAGE outperforms adapted baselines, achieving a composite score of 66.7 versus 53.2 across 15 shape, material, and object concepts.

CleanVideo introduces a selective erasure framework for text-to-video diffusion models, addressing the challenge of removing undesired visual concepts from videos. The method uses a low-dimensional subspace intervention guided by a tri-modal gating mechanism that jointly considers spatiotemporal visual features, timestep signals, and textual semantics to decide where, when, and whether to intervene. Experiments on three video diffusion models demonstrate that CleanVideo effectively erases target concepts while preserving visual fidelity, temporal coherence, and outperforming existing baselines in both frame-level and video-level evaluations, even under concept-recovery attacks.
