Machine Unlearning via Targeted Update Rules

Research Question

How can we design a stronger unlearning update rule that removes information about a forget set while retaining as much utility as possible on the retained data?

Background

Machine unlearning methods approximate the effect of retraining without the deleted data. The central tradeoff is clear: aggressive forgetting reduces utility, while conservative updates leave measurable traces of the forgotten examples.

Task

Implement a better unlearning rule in bench/unlearning/custom_unlearning.py. The fixed harness trains an initial model, defines a forget split, and then applies your update rule for a fixed number of unlearning steps using retain and forget minibatches.

Your method should lower forget-set memorization while preserving retained-task accuracy.

Editable Interface

You must implement:

class UnlearningMethod:
    def unlearn_step(self, model, retain_batch, forget_batch, optimizer, step, epoch):
        ...
  • retain_batch: minibatch sampled from retained data
  • forget_batch: minibatch sampled from the forget set
  • optimizer: fixed optimizer instance
  • Return value: dict with at least loss

The architecture, initial training, forget split, and evaluation probes are fixed.

Evaluation

Benchmarks:

  • mnist-class0
  • fmnist-class0
  • cifar10-class0

Reported metrics:

  • retain_acc
  • forget_acc
  • forget_mia_auc
  • unlearn_score

Primary metric: unlearn_score (higher is better).

Baselines

  • retain_finetune: continue training only on retained data
  • negative_gradient: ascend forget loss and descend retain loss
  • bad_teacher: distillation-style forgetting baseline
  • scrub: stronger representation-scrubbing baseline
