arXiv:2503.18314v5 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We present LoTUS, a novel Machine Unlearning (MU) method that eliminates the influence of training samples from pre-trained models, avoiding retraining from scratch. LoTUS smooths the prediction probabilities of the model up to an information-theoretic bound, mitigating its over-confidence stemming from data memorization. We evaluate LoTUS on Transformer and ResNet18 models against eight baselines across five public datasets. Beyond established MU benchmarks, we evaluate unlearning on ImageNet1k, a large-scale dataset, where retraining is imp
The increasing focus on privacy regulations and the need for adaptable, auditable AI models drives innovation in machine unlearning.
This development can significantly improve the controllability and ethical compliance of large AI models, reducing the overhead of data deletion and bias correction.
AI models can now efficiently 'forget' specific training data without full retraining, enabling more dynamic data governance and improved model transparency.
