Unlearning in Diffusion Models under Data Constraints: A Variational Inference Approach
Unlearning in Diffusion Models under Data Constraints: A Variational Inference Approach
Subhodip Panda, Varun M S, Shreyans Jain, Sarthak Kumar Maharana, Prathosh A. P
TMLR 2026 Transaction on Machine Learning Research (TMLR), 2026
The principal objective of this work is to propose a machine unlearning methodology that can prevent the generation of outputs containing undesired features from a pre-trained diffusion model in a data-constrained setting, where the whole training dataset is inaccessible.
Regret Tail Characterization of Optimal Bandit Algorithms with Generic Rewards
Regret Tail Characterization of Optimal Bandit Algorithms with Generic Rewards
