Machine unlearning (MU) seeks to remove the influence of specified data from a trained model in response to privacy requests or data poisoning. While certified unlearning has been analyzed in centralized and server-orchestrated federated…

The right to be forgotten, as stated in most data regulations, poses an underexplored challenge in federated learning (FL), leading to the development of federated unlearning (FU). However, current FU approaches often face trade-offs…

In this paper, we focus on preserving differential privacy (DP) in continual learning (CL), in which we train ML models to learn a sequence of new tasks while memorizing previous tasks. We first introduce a notion of continual adjacent…

Machine Unlearning (MU) aims to remove target training data from a trained model so that the removed data no longer influences the model's behavior, fulfilling "right to be forgotten" obligations under data privacy laws. Yet, we observe…

Approximate machine unlearning (AMU) enables models to `forget' specific training data through specialized fine-tuning on a retained (and forget) subset of training set. However, processing this large retained subset still dominates…

Machine unlearning aims to remove the influence of specific data from trained language models. In real-world deployments, unlearning requests often arrive sequentially, which challenges existing fine-tuning-based methods: fine-tuning each…
