GRACE: Adaptive Concept Erasure with Geometry-Guided Retention in Diffusion Models

GRACE is a new framework for concept erasure in text-to-image diffusion models that uses a semantically weighted sensitive subspace to guide localized interventions and lightweight subspace-constrained adapters to avoid global semantic disruption. It replaces manual counterfactual prompts with an automatically decoupled safe-anchor mechanism and controls intervention strength through an energy-driven dynamic gating system. Experiments show GRACE improves NSFW reduction by 17.86% over five state-of-the-art methods while also reducing target CLIP Score and FID, indicating stronger concept suppression with better preservation of generative quality.

DSS: Dynamic Semantic Steering for Robust Concept Erasure in Diffusion Models

The paper introduces Dynamic Semantic Steering (DSS), a training‑free, inference‑time defense for robust concept erasure in text‑to‑image diffusion models. DSS models local semantic neighborhoods geometrically, automatically identifies benign semantic anchors, and applies context‑aware, constrained feature correction using cross‑attention signals. Experiments show DSS achieves an average erasure rate of 91.0%, outperforming prior defenses while reducing semantic drift and preserving generation fidelity.

Discovering Undisclosed Concepts in LoRA Adapters for Diffusion-Based AIGC Models

The paper introduces a two‑stage method for uncovering hidden concepts encoded in Low‑Rank Adaptation (LoRA) adapters used to personalize diffusion models. First, Subspace‑Guided Evolutionary Search (SGES) identifies promising prompts by evaluating their alignment with the LoRA subspace without rendering images. Second, Paired Visual Identification (PVI) renders only the shortlisted prompts and compares LoRA outputs to the base model to confirm coherent, distinctive generation, thereby efficiently revealing undisclosed concepts.
