Autonomous Model Lifecycle Management for Digital Twin-Based Manufacturing Control

The paper introduces a closed‑loop cyber‑physical system for autonomous model lifecycle management in automotive manufacturing, deployed since 2023. It manages paired physics and reinforcement‑learning models, selecting the best candidate through competitive retraining cycles and a Conductor orchestrator that handles plant‑wide inventories and fallback controls. The system incorporates an operator‑trust gate that rejects 23% of policies that deviate from established practice, achieving 28‑45% process stability improvements with no safety incidents.

Correlation-Guided Fast Machine Unlearning via Hessian Analysis

The paper presents a fast machine unlearning method that uses Hessian analysis to identify correlated training data and applies a closed‑form update rule. This approach achieves an 82× speedup over traditional influence‑function unlearning while maintaining or slightly improving model accuracy. Experiments on seven dataset‑architecture pairs, including CIFAR‑100 with ResNet‑50, show strong forgetting performance and low vulnerability to membership inference attacks.

SAEs Can Improve Unlearning: Dynamic Sparse Autoencoder Guardrails for Precision Unlearning in LLMs

The paper introduces Dynamic DAE Guardrails (DSG), a method that uses Dynamic Sparse Autoencoders to perform precision unlearning in large language models. DSG leverages principled feature selection and a dynamic classifier to target activation-based unlearning, outperforming existing gradient‑based methods in terms of computational efficiency, stability, sequential unlearning, resistance to relearning attacks, data efficiency, and interpretability.
