New benchmark GONE evaluates LLM knowledge unlearning on structured data

Researchers have introduced GONE, a new benchmark designed to evaluate the effectiveness of knowledge unlearning in large language models (LLMs) when dealing with structured knowledge graph facts. Existing methods often focus on sentence-level data, neglecting the relational and reasoning aspects inherent in structured information. The GONE benchmark, along with a novel framework called Neighborhood-Expanded Distribution Shaping (NEDS), aims to precisely separate forgotten facts from their semantic neighborhoods. Evaluations on LLaMA-3-8B and Mistral-7B models demonstrated NEDS's superior performance in unlearning efficacy and locality. AI

IMPACT This research could lead to more robust methods for controlling and refining LLM knowledge, impacting safety and privacy.
