Verifiable Unlearning

Definition

Verifiable unlearning refers to the process of demonstrably removing specific data or patterns from a machine learning model. This advanced technique ensures that a model can provably eliminate the influence of certain training data points, as if they were never used. It is critical for compliance with data privacy regulations, such as GDPR’s “right to be forgotten,” and for mitigating bias. Achieving verifiable unlearning poses significant algorithmic challenges.
