• Abstract: Text-to-Image (T2I) models have shown great performance in generating images based on textual prompts. However, these models are vulnerable to unsafe input to generate unsafe content like sexual, harassment and illegal-activity images. Existing studies based on image checker, model fine-tuning and embedding blocking are impractical in real-world applications. Hence, we propose the first universal prompt optimizer for safe T2I (POSI) generation in black-box scenario. We first construct a dataset consisting of toxic-clean prompt pairs by GPT-3.5 Turbo. To guide the optimizer to have the ability of converting toxic prompt to clean prompt while preserving semantic information, we design a novel reward function measuring toxicity and text alignment of generated images and train the optimizer through Proximal Policy Optimization. Experiments show that our approach can effectively reduce the likelihood of various T2I models in generating inappropriate images, with no significant impact on text alignment. It is also flexible to be combined with methods to achieve better performance. Our code is available at https://github.com/wu-zongyu/POSI.

  Text-to-image (T2I) models have become widespread, but their limited safety guardrails expose end users to harmful content and potentially allow for model misuse. Current safety measures are typically limited to text-based filtering or concept removal strategies, able to remove just a few concepts from the model's generative capabilities. We introduce SafetyDPO, a method for safety alignment of T2I models through Direct Preference Optimization (DPO) We train safety experts, in the form of low-rank adaptation (LoRA) matrices, able to guide the generation process away from specific safety-related

  Text-to-Image (T2I) diffusion models are widely recognized for their ability to generate high-quality and diverse images based on text prompts. Current efforts to prevent inappropriate image generation for T2I models are easy to bypass and vulnerable to adversarial attacks. We propose a novel, training-free approach, called Prompt-Noise Optimization (PNO), to mitigate unsafe image generation.

  Unlearning techniques have been developed to remove the model's ability to generate potentially harmful content.

We propose Direct Unlearning Optimization (DUO), a novel framework for removing Not Safe For Work (NSFW) content from T2I models.

  Existing safety measures are either based on text blacklists, which can be easily circumvented, or harmful content classification. We propose Latent Guard, a framework designed to improve safety measures in text-to-image generation. Inspired by blacklist-based approaches, Latent Guard learns a latent space on top of the T2I model's text encoder, where it is possible to check the presence of harmful concepts.

  diffusion-based text-to-image (T2I) models can lack faithfulness to the text prompt. We show that large T2I diffusion models are more faithful than usually assumed, and can generate images faithful to even complex prompts. We introduce a pipeline that generates candidate images for a text prompt and picks the best one according to an automatic scoring system.
