BLUR: A Bi-Level Optimization Approach for LLM Unlearning
Hadi Reisizadeh, Jinghan Jia, Zhiqi Bu +6
Enabling large language models (LLMs) to unlearn knowledge and capabilities acquired during training has proven vital for ensuring compliance with data regulations and promoting et…
SemEval-2025 Task 4: Unlearning sensitive content from Large Language Models
Anil Ramakrishna, Yixin Wan, Xiaomeng Jin +6
We introduce SemEval-2025 Task 4: unlearning sensitive content from Large Language Models (LLMs). The task features 3 subtasks for LLM unlearning spanning different use cases: (1)…
LUME: LLM Unlearning with Multitask Evaluations
Anil Ramakrishna, Yixin Wan, Xiaomeng Jin +6
Unlearning aims to remove copyrighted, sensitive, or private content from large language models (LLMs) without a full retraining. In this work, we develop a multi-task unlearning b…
Unlearning as multi-task optimization: A normalized gradient difference approach with an adaptive learning rate
Zhiqi Bu, Xiaomeng Jin, Bhanukiran Vinzamuri +4
Machine unlearning has been used to remove unwanted knowledge acquired by large language models (LLMs). In this paper, we examine machine unlearning from an optimization perspectiv…
DiSK: Differentially Private Optimizer with Simplified Kalman Filter for Noise Reduction
Xinwei Zhang, Zhiqi Bu, Borja Balle +3
Differential privacy (DP) offers a robust framework for safeguarding individual data privacy. To utilize DP in training modern machine learning models, differentially private optim…
