CALIBURN is a new approach to large language model (LLM) unlearning that measures a model’s confidence in undesirable knowledge and uses this measure to fine‑tune unlearning gradient updates. By doing so, it offers more precise control over what is forgotten while better preserving the model’s overall utility. Experiments on benchmarks such as MUSE and WMDP show that CALIBURN outperforms existing methods in balancing knowledge removal with utility retention.

CUNO is a curriculum‑based graph unlearning framework that progressively removes a designated set of training samples, ordering them by estimated unlearning difficulty across multiple stages. It also introduces a distribution‑level negative preference optimization objective at each stage to steer the model away from its original behavior on the current forget subset while preserving performance on retained data. Experiments show that CUNO mitigates catastrophic unlearning, retaining 74% of original utility at 20% deletion and more than half at 50% deletion, outperforming existing methods.
