Defensive Unlearning with Adversarial Training for Robust Concept Erasure in Diffusion Models

Project Website | Arxiv Preprint | Fine-tuned Weights | Demo

Our proposed robust unlearning framework, AdvUnlearn, enhances diffusion models' safety by robustly erasing unwanted concepts through adversarial training, achieving an optimal balance between concept erasure and image generation quality.
