Scrub-and-Learn: Category-Aware Weight Modification for Machine Unlearning
May 2025 • Jiali Wang, Hongxia Bie, J. Zhao, Yichen Zhi
(1) Background: Machine unlearning plays a crucial role in privacy protection and model optimization, particularly in forgetting entire categories of data in classification tasks. However, existing methods often struggle with high computational costs, such as estimating the inverse Hessian, or require access to the original training data, limiting their practicality. (2) Methods: In this work, we introduce Scrub-and-Learn, which is a category-aware weight modification framework designed to remove class-level knowl…
