Learning depends on the ability to acquire and assimilate new information. This ability depends---somewhat counterintuitively---on the ability to forget. In particular, effective forgetting requires the ability to recognize and utilize new…
Users have the right to have their data deleted by third-party learned systems, as codified by recent legislation such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). Such data deletion can…
