MapRoute++: Surrogate-Guided Semantic Routing for Visual Concept Unlearning
arXiv:2608.13478
Abstract
We present our submission to Task 3 of the Gen 2.0 Challenge on visual concept unlearning. Building on MapRoute, we introduce task-specific training objectives, richer concept representations, and semantic routing for concept-specific mapper selection. Our approach improves robust concept removal while preserving unrelated and semantically adjacent concepts. On the official benchmark, evaluated using the Erasing-Retention-Robustness (ERR) metric on Stable Diffusion v1.4, our method outperforms the state-of-the-art baseline by 12.1\% on average across the five concept categories, achieving substantial gains.
