arXiv:2601. 22601v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Federated unlearning (FU) aims to erase designated client-level, class-level, or sample-level knowledge from a global model.
arXiv:2606. 16304v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Federated unlearning (FU) enables the removal of specific data contributions from federated learning (FL) models to comply with regulations such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
The paper addresses the mismatch between learner and client data distributions in federated learning, noting that traditional client selection methods often ignore this misalignment. It introduces a dynamic, influence-aware client selection framework that uses a small proxy dataset to estimate each client's utility for the learner’s objective, prioritizing informative sources while mitigating noise and heterogeneity. Experiments on CIFAR-10 with heterogeneous partitions show the proposed method outperforms static and dynamic baselines, achieving faster convergence and higher accuracy.
arXiv:2606. 03808v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We propose PURGE, a machine unlearning algorithm built on a simple but an under-exploited observation: continual learning (CL) and machine unlearning (MU) which are fundamentally dual problems.
arXiv:2605. 20341v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Federated learning systems must support data deletion requests to comply with privacy regulations, yet retraining from scratch after each deletion is computationally prohibitive.
