Privacy concerns in machine learning are heightened by regulations such as the GDPR, which enforces the "right to be forgotten" (RTBF), driving the emergence of machine unlearning as a critical research field. Vertical Federated Learning…

Federated learning (FL) has become a prevalent distributed machine learning paradigm with improved privacy. After learning, the resulting federated model should be further personalized to each different client. While several methods have…

Federated learning (FL) has recently emerged as a promising distributed machine learning (ML) paradigm. Practical needs of the "right to be forgotten" and countering data poisoning attacks call for efficient techniques that can remove, or…

Major data protection regulations all mention the "right to be forgotten," and that's what pushed federated unlearning (FU) techniques forward. But one stubborn issue remains: catastrophic forgetting--you erase the target knowledge, yet…

Federated learning is a promising privacy-preserving paradigm for distributed machine learning. In this context, there is sometimes a need for a specialized process called machine unlearning, which is required when the effect of some…

Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly integrated into real-world applications, raising concerns about privacy, security and the need to remove undesirable knowledge. Machine Unlearning has emerged as a promising solution, yet faces…

Federated Unlearning (FU) has emerged as a critical compliance mechanism for data privacy regulations, requiring unlearned clients to provide verifiable Proof of Federated Unlearning (PoFU) to auditors upon data removal requests. However,…

Federated Unlearning (FUL) aims to remove specific participants' data contributions from a trained Federated Learning model, thereby ensuring data privacy and compliance with regulatory requirements. Despite its potential, progress in FUL…

Federated learning (FL) increasingly needs machine unlearning to comply with privacy regulations. However, existing federated unlearning approaches may overlook the overlapping information between the unlearning and remaining data, leading…

Federated Learning (FL) facilitates collaborative model training while keeping raw data decentralized, making it a conduit for leveraging the power of IoT devices while maintaining privacy of the locally collected data. However, existing…

Recent works have shown that generative sequence models (e.g., language models) have a tendency to memorize rare or unique sequences in the training data. Since useful models are often trained on sensitive data, to ensure the privacy of the…

The advent of Federated Learning (FL) highlights the practical necessity for the right to be forgotten for all clients, allowing them to request data deletion from the machine learning models service provider. This necessity has spurred a…

Federated Unlearning (FU) is gaining prominence for its capability to eliminate influences of Federated Learning (FL) users' data from trained global FL models. A straightforward FU method involves removing the unlearned users and…

With privacy legislation empowering the users with the right to be forgotten, it has become essential to make a model amenable for forgetting some of its training data. However, existing unlearning methods in the machine learning context…

Federated Unlearning (FU) is an emerging paradigm in Federated Learning (FL) that enables participating clients to fully remove their contributions from a trained global model, driven by data protection regulations that mandate the right to…
