TILDE: TILt-based Distributional Erasure for Concept Unlearning

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.

Deep Contrastive Unlearning for Language Models

Deep Contrastive Unlearning for Language Models (DeepCUT) is a framework that removes information from fine‑tuned language models by directly optimizing their latent space. It addresses the challenge of machine unlearning in black‑box models, which has been largely overlooked by previous work that only mitigated output effects. Experiments on real‑world datasets show that DeepCUT consistently outperforms baseline methods in both effectiveness and efficiency.
