POPS: Recovering Unlearned Multi-Modality Knowledge in MLLMs with Prompt-Optimized Parameter Shaking

arXiv:2607. 06649v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have demonstrated impressive performance on cross-modal tasks by jointly training on large-scale textual and visual data, where privacy-sensitive examples could be unintentionally encoded, raising concerns about privacy or copyright violation.

POPS: Recovering Unlearned Multi-Modality Knowledge in MLLMs with Prompt-Optimized Parameter Shaking

Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have demonstrated impressive performance on cross-modal tasks by jointly training on large-scale textual and visual data, where privacy-sensitive examples could be unintentionally encoded, raising concerns about privacy or copyright violation. To this end, Multi-modality Machine Unlearning (MMU) was proposed as a mitigation that can effectively force MLLMs to forget private information.
