Gradient Concentration, Not Weight Saliency, Explains Representation-Level Class Unlearning
arXiv:2607. 21353v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Machine unlearning aims to remove the influence of specific training data while preserving model utility.
Machine unlearning aims to remove the influence of specific training data while preserving model utility. Many state-of-the-art approaches pursue this goal by restricting the forgetting update to a subset of parameters selected through gradient-based saliency.

Machine unlearning for vision-language models (VLMs) remains underexplored. Unlike language models, VLMs combine a language backbone with visual components, which makes unlearning more complex.
