What a Deletion Certificate Covers, and Where It Expires: Auditable Removal from a Support-Vector Memory

The paper investigates how to provide verifiable deletion certificates for a dense key–value context memory used in support‑vector‑based readouts. By assigning explicit weights to keys and using a one‑class support‑vector boundary, the authors show that reserve keys can be removed without re‑solving, while active keys can be deleted with a decremental solver that matches the result of a full re‑solve. Extensive experiments on synthetic, near‑duplicate, clinical, and learned key sets demonstrate that maintained deletion achieves the same reference state as re‑solve, with negligible readout disagreement and significant speedups.
