Researchers have developed DECAF (DE-Clustering for Adaptive Forgetting), a novel post-hoc machine unlearning method designed to prevent data recovery through clustering attacks. This method operates solely on the "forget set" of data, utilizing input noise, confidence suppression, and entropy-based output diversification to dismantle the residual feature-space structure linked to the removed data. Experiments on CIFAR-10 with ResNet-18 demonstrated DECAF's effectiveness, achieving a forget-class accuracy of 0.10% and a retain accuracy of 79.4%, while also proving more efficient than methods requiring the full training set.
