arXiv:2606. 01527v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Machine unlearning is motivated by legal and user-facing requirements to remove the influence of individuals' data from trained models, such as the right to be forgotten.

arXiv:2601. 10237v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Differentially Private Stochastic Gradient Descent (DP-SGD) is the dominant paradigm for private training, but its fundamental limitations under worst-case adversarial privacy definitions remain poorly understood.

arXiv:2605. 06259v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Within the $f$-DP framework, we derive a tight analysis of the trade-off function for Differentially Private Stochastic Gradient Descent (DP-SGD) with subsampling based on random allocation in which each sample is independently assigned to exactly one of $M$ minibatches per epoch, each minibatch corresponding to one of the $M$ SGD rounds within a single epoch.

arXiv:2605. 11170v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Noise-based certified machine unlearning currently faces a hard ceiling: the noise magnitude required to certify unlearning typically destroys model utility, particularly for large-scale deletion requests.

The paper introduces a differentially private framework for sparse reward estimation in reinforcement learning with human feedback (RLHF). It assumes that only a small subset of features influences human preferences and provides theoretical error bounds for both Sample-DP and Label-DP settings under the Bradley-Terry-Luce model. Empirical results show that the proposed methods outperform dense baselines on sentiment generation and safety alignment tasks, achieving a better privacy‑utility trade‑off.
