Where Concept Erasure Should Occur: Concept-Layer Alignment in Text-to-Video Diffusion Models 文章

arXiv:2605.25941v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Text-to-video diffusion transformers encode semantic information unevenly across model depth, which constrains effective concept erasure. We identify a representational bottleneck, termed concept-layer topological alignment, under which target concepts exhibit higher separability at certain representational depths. Outside these depths, concept and non-target signals remain strongly entangled, limiting the effectiveness of depth-specific erasure. This observation reframes concept erasure as the problem of identifying representational depths where concept-non-target separation naturally emerges. Motivated by this structural constraint, we introduce CLEAR, a separability-driven optimization framework for concept erasure that explicitly enforces concept-layer alignment.
