The Forgetting-Retention Dilemma: Certified Unlearning Theory in Continual Learning
arXiv:2606. 29832v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Machine unlearning aims to eliminate the influence of specific data from trained models to safeguard privacy.
Machine unlearning aims to eliminate the influence of specific data from trained models to safeguard privacy. However, this presents a significant challenge in the context of continual learning (CL), where models update sequentially on dynamic datasets.
