The paper identifies a problem in large language model (LLM) unlearning called forget‑set misalignment, where the set of data to be forgotten does not match what the model has actually memorized. Two failure modes are described: Under Unlearning, where memorized information is omitted from the forget set, and Out‑of‑Knowledge Unlearning, where the algorithm attempts to forget knowledge the model never learned, harming performance. The authors propose CONfs, a data‑blind framework that constructs model‑aligned forget sets by eliciting the model’s memorized knowledge, and demonstrate that it achieves near‑gold standard forgetting while preserving utility better than other data‑blind methods.
Machine unlearning for large language models (LLMs) often assumes that a pre-defined forget set matches what the model has memorized, but this frequently breaks in realistic privacy settings where the...
Tokenized Key-Gated Adapter Routing (Locket) is a framework that embeds fine‑grained, policy‑driven access control into large language models by training lightweight LoRA adapters for different privacy policies. A gating module associates a learned keyed entry token with a specific adapter, allowing authorized tokens to unlock private knowledge while invalid or missing tokens trigger privacy‑preserving adapters that redact or sanitize sensitive content. Experiments on datasets such as Enron, ECHR, and Yelp with models like Qwen3, Llama‑3.2, and Gemma‑2‑2B show that Locket maintains perplexity comparable to fine‑tuning when the correct token is provided, and significantly reduces PII leakage when the token is absent or invalid, without sacrificing utility.

arXiv:2607. 02513v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: LLMs memorize sensitive training data, including personally identifiable information (PII), creating a pressing need for reliable post hoc removal methods.
Machine unlearning has been extensively studied in response to growing privacy concerns and regulatory requirements. However, auditing whether unlearning algorithms have truly erased the influence of specific data remains an open challenge.
