FlowErase-RL: Rethinking Concept Erasure as Reward Optimization in Flow Matching Models 文章

arXiv:2605.19739v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Recent advances in flow matching models have significantly improved text-to-image generation quality, but also introduce growing safety risks due to the generation of harmful or undesirable content. Existing concept erasure methods are either inference-time interventions with limited effectiveness or rely on supervised fine-tuning (SFT), which requires precisely aligned data and struggles with scalability and multi-concept settings. In this paper, we propose \emph{FlowErase-RL}, the first GRPO-based framework for concept erasure in flow matching models. We reformulate concept erasure as a reward optimization problem and introduce a \textbf{dynamic dual-path reward mechanism} that jointly optimizes (i) a Concept Erasure (CE) reward to suppress target concepts and (ii) a Non-target Space (NS) reward to preserve generative fidelity.
