Researchers have proposed a concept ablation method that can modify generated images from text-to-image models to match a broad anchor concept, such as overwriting Star Wars R2D2 with Robot or Monet paintings with a painting. The method was evaluated on 16 tasks and was able to successfully ablate target concepts while minimally affecting surrounding concepts. The method takes around five minutes per concept and is robust to misspelling in the text prompt.
