Fine-tuning diffusion models through personalized datasets is an acknowledged method for improving generation quality across downstream tasks, which, however, often inadvertently generates unintended concepts such as watermarks and QR codes, attributed to the limitations in image sources and collecting methods within specific downstream tasks. Existing solutions suffer from eliminating these unintentionally learned implicit concepts, primarily due to the dependency on the model's ability to recognize concepts that it actually cannot discern. In this work, we introduce Geom-Erasing, a novel approach that successfully removes the implicit concepts with either an additional accessible classifier or detector model to encode geometric information of these concepts into text domain. Moreover, we propose Implicit Concept, a novel image-text dataset imbued with three implicit concepts (i.e., watermarks, QR codes, and text) for training and evaluation. Experimental results demonstrate that Geom-Erasing not only identifies but also proficiently eradicates implicit concepts, revealing a significant improvement over the existing methods. The integration of geometric information marks a substantial progression in the precise removal of implicit concepts in diffusion models.
