Broken Memories: Detecting and Mitigating Memorization in Diffusion Models with Degraded Generations
Researchers have developed a new method to detect and mitigate memorization in diffusion models, which can lead to privacy and copyright issues. The technique identifies internal numerical instability during image generation, often visible as visual artifacts. By analyzing latent update norms, the system can detect and adaptively reduce memorization without affecting the original prompt or image quality. Experiments show this approach achieves high detection accuracy and a zero memorization rate with minimal processing overhead. AI
