Researchers have developed a new method called Domain Manifold Unlearning (DMU) to address the challenge of removing specific concepts, like illicit content or copyrighted styles, from diffusion models. Existing methods struggle with combined object-style unlearning and often lead to catastrophic forgetting when multiple removal requests are made. DMU utilizes an EMA-updated feature proxy from intermediate diffusion features to selectively unlearn domain-specific components of an object while preserving other semantic representations, demonstrating improved robustness in multiple unlearning scenarios and outperforming current state-of-the-art methods.
