| contents | With the advance of generative AI, the text-to-image (T2I) model has the ability to generate various contents. However, the generated contents cannot be fully controlled. There is a potential risk that T2I model can generate unsafe images with uncomfortable contents. In our work, we focus on eliminating the NSFW (not safe for work) content generation from T2I model while maintaining the high quality of generated images by fine-tuning the pre-trained diffusion model via reinforcement learning by optimizing the well-designed content-safe reward function. The proposed method leverages a customized reward function consisting of the CLIP (Contrastive Language-Image Pre-training) and nudity rewards to prune the nudity contents that adhere to the pret-rained model and keep the corresponding semantic meaning on the safe side. In this way, the T2I model is robust to unsafe adversarial prompts since unsafe visual representations are mitigated from latent space. Extensive experiments conducted on different datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method in alleviating unsafe content generation while preserving the high-fidelity of benign images as well as images generated by unsafe prompts. We compare with five existing state-of-the-art (SOTA) methods and achieve competitive performance on sexual content removal and image quality retention. In terms of robustness, our method outperforms counterparts under the SOTA black-box attacking model. Furthermore, our constructed method can be a benchmark for anti-NSFW generation with semantically-relevant safe alignment. |
