  1. Forget-It-All: Multi-Concept Machine Unlearning via Concept-Aware Neuron Masking
    Kaiyuan Deng, Bo Hui, Gen Li, Jie Ji, Minghai Qin, Geng Yuan, Xiaolong Ma

    FIA, a training-free framework for multi-concept unlearning in diffusion models leveraging model sparsity. Introduces Contrastive Concept Saliency to quantify each weight's contribution to a target concept, identifies Concept-Sensitive Neurons through temporal and spatial analysis, and fuses per-concept masks into a unified multi-concept mask. Operates at under 0.3% overall sparsity and achieves SOTA across multi-object, NSFW, and artistic-style unlearning tasks.

  2. Forget Many, Forget Right: Scalable and Precise Concept Unlearning in Diffusion Models
    Kaiyuan Deng, Gen Li, Yang Xiao, Bo Hui, Xiaolong Ma

    ScaPre, a unified closed-form framework for scalable and precise large-scale concept unlearning. Combines a conflict-aware stable design (spectral trace regularization + geometry alignment) with an Informax Decoupler that confines updates to concept-relevant subspaces. Without extra data or auxiliary modules, ScaPre unlearns up to 5× more concepts than the best baseline, completing 50 concepts in 120 seconds.

  1. Sculpting Memory: Multi-Concept Forgetting in Diffusion Models via Dynamic Mask and Concept-Aware Optimization
    Gen Li, Yang Xiao, Jie Ji, Kaiyuan Deng, Bo Hui, Linke Guo, Xiaolong Ma
    ICCV 2025 [arXiv]

    A novel unlearning framework combining a Dynamic Mask and a Concept-Aware Loss for multi-concept forgetting in text-to-image diffusion models. The dynamic mask adaptively updates gradient masks during optimization for selective weight modifications; the concept-aware loss enforces semantic consistency via superclass alignment and uses distillation to prevent unlearned concepts from resurfacing.

  2. GS2E: Gaussian Splatting is an Effective Data Generator for Event Stream Generation
    Yuchen Li*, Chaoran Feng*, Zhenyu Tang, Kaiyuan Deng, Wangbo Yu, Yonghong Tian, Li Yuan
    NeurIPS 2025 (Datasets & Benchmarks) [arXiv] [Project]

    GS2E, a large-scale synthetic event dataset for high-fidelity 3D event-based vision, comprising 1,150+ scenes. Reconstructs photorealistic static scenes via 3D Gaussian Splatting from sparse multi-view RGB images, then runs a physically-informed event simulation pipeline with adaptive trajectory interpolation and contrast-threshold modeling.

  1. Privacy-Preserving Detection Method for Transmission Lines Based on Edge Collaboration
    Quan Shi*, Kaiyuan Deng*
    IEEE TrustCom 2024

    SecYOLOv7, a secure single-stage detector for privacy-preserving transmission-line inspection. Uses Shamir secret-sharing-based MPC across two non-colluding edge servers to perform Secure Feature Contraction, Secure Bounding-Box Prediction, and Secure Object Classification. Maintains computation error around 1e-4 with 2.113s runtime and 95.15 MB communication overhead.
