Researchers have introduced UniForget, a novel method designed to address cross-pathway concept unlearning in unified multimodal models (UMMs). These models integrate both image generation and visual understanding capabilities. UniForget aims to prevent UMMs from generating images of a target concept while simultaneously ensuring they cannot identify that concept in input images, all without degrading other functionalities. The method was evaluated using UUBench, a new benchmark comprising 30 target concepts and 60 related neighboring concepts, and demonstrated high joint forgetting rates on models like BAGEL-7B-MoT and Janus-Pro-7B.
