arXiv:2606. 03808v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We propose PURGE, a machine unlearning algorithm built on a simple but an under-exploited observation: continual learning (CL) and machine unlearning (MU) which are fundamentally dual problems.

arXiv:2606. 25001v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Machine unlearning (MU) is commonly judged by output forgetting, such as low forget-set accuracy or reduced logit-level membership inference.

arXiv:2606. 06032v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Catastrophic forgetting is commonly interpreted as the irreversible erasure of previously acquired knowledge during sequential learning.

arXiv:2605. 20282v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Machine unlearning in Vertical Federated Learning (VFL) has attracted growing interest, yet existing methods certify forgetting solely using output-level metrics.

arXiv:2608. 02058v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Source-free class unlearning erases whole classes using only the forget data, judged at the representation level, where features can leak a class the head no longer predicts.

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.
arXiv:2607. 17944v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We introduce CMP (Cognitive Memory Primitive), an architecture that represents inputs as sparse relational codes, stores them in a two-tier competitive memory, and learns entirely through local, gradient-free updates, with no backpropagation anywhere in the network.

arXiv:2608. 15854v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Catastrophic forgetting remains a fundamental obstacle to continual learning, where neural networks lose previously acquired knowledge while learning new tasks.

arXiv:2512. 02657v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Real-world deployment of text-to-image diffusion models requires continual concept removal as new privacy, copyright, or safety obligations arise over time.

arXiv:2605. 07482v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Machine unlearning for large language models (LLMs) aims to selectively remove memorized content such as private data, copyrighted text, or hazardous knowledge, without costly full retraining.

arXiv:2607. 23934v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Machine unlearning, which aims to remove the influence of specific training data from a trained model, is a key requirement for privacy, accountability, and adaptive deployment.
