We tested several unlearning methods and found none of them really erase knowledge from the model - they simply hide it! 🧐 What does this mean? We must tread carefully with unlearning research within diffusion models🚨 Here is what we learned 🧵👇(led by @kevinlu4588)

Excited to share our paper “When Are Concepts Erased from Diffusion Models?” at @NeurIPSConf! We introduce two conceptual models for erasure mechanisms in diffusion models, and a suite of probes to recover supposedly forgotten concepts. Project website: unerasing.baulab.info/
