Researchers have identified significant unreliability in current evaluation metrics for machine unlearning in Vision-Language Models (VLMs). Analysis of 36 unlearned LLaVA-1.5-7B models revealed that standard metrics like Forget Accuracy and Retain Accuracy often conflict with others such as Activation Distance and JS divergence. To address this, a new Unified Quality Score (UQS) was developed, which provides more stable rankings by weighting metrics based on their correlation with an oracle distance. AI
