Title: Empty SPACE: Cross-Attention Sparsity for Concept Erasure in Diffusion Models

Abstract:
arXiv:2605.10198v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Erasing specific concepts from text-to-image diffusion models is essential for avoiding the generation of copyrighted and explicit content. Closed-form concept erasure methods offer a fast alternative to backpropagation-based techniques, but they become less effective when scaling from smaller models such as Stable Diffusion 1.5 to larger models like Stable Diffusion XL. To maintain erasure effectiveness in these larger-scale architectures, we pr
