EraseSAE: Surgical Concept Erasure in Text-to-Video Diffusion Models via Sparse Autoencoders

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: Surgical Concept Erasure in Text-to-Video Diffusion Models via Sparse Autoencoders

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.
