MANCE: Manifold-Aware Concept Erasure
anselm · x · 2026-07-11
MANCE (Manifold Aware Concept Erasure) introduces a concept erasure method designed to remove specific concepts from a model's representations while preserving other information as much as possible.
The core idea is to constrain the editing process to the natural data manifold, minimizing damage to the rest of the representation space. The authors claim this method achieved state-of-the-art results across 119 different settings.
