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.

Heterogeneous Differential Privacy (HDP) in Federated Learning (FL) allows clients to select individual privacy budgets ($\varepsilon_i$) according to institutional policies and data sensitivity. In practice, many HDP-FL systems employ $\varepsilon$-aware server aggregation to improve model utility by re-weighting client updates according to their declared privacy budgets.
