TILDE: TILt-based Distributional Erasure for Concept Unlearning
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. Existing methods often remove the target concept effectively, but practical unlearning also requires an equally fundamental property: the unlearned model should retain quality, diversity, and semantic coverage on benign generation. The gold standard is a retain-only model trained from scratch without the unwanted data. Howeve
