RASteer edits text-to-image diffusion steering directions to reduce damage to retained concepts while erasing a target. It uses retain concepts to identify shared activation features, then adaptively reduces their contribution during generation. On SD-v1.4, NudeNet detected 13 exposed body parts on I2P prompts, versus 24 with CASteer. These results concern tested Stable Diffusion models and predefined retain sets.
