Selective forgetting or removing information from deep neural networks (DNNs) is essential for continual learning and is challenging in controlling the DNNs. Such forgetting is crucial also in a practical sense since the deployed DNNs may…
We explore the problem of selectively forgetting a particular subset of the data used for training a deep neural network. While the effects of the data to be forgotten can be hidden from the output of the network, insights may still be…
