New benchmark Lethe evaluates edge unlearning in graph neural networks

Researchers have introduced Lethe, a new benchmark designed to evaluate edge unlearning methods for graph neural networks. Current evaluations for edge unlearning are limited, often using datasets where node features overshadow graph structure and employing accuracy metrics that are insensitive to edge removal. Lethe addresses these issues by focusing on large graphs, offering tasks of varying difficulty, and utilizing link inference attacks as a more effective evaluation measure. The benchmark includes 15 methods and 8 datasets, aiming to provide a more robust and reproducible framework for assessing edge unlearning techniques. AI

IMPACT Provides a standardized evaluation framework for edge unlearning, potentially improving the robustness and efficiency of data removal techniques in graph neural networks.

    Lethe: Link Inference Attacks For Evaluation of Edge Unlearning Methods

    arXiv:2610.21869v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Graph Unlearning (GU) aims to remove the influence of specific training data from a Graph Neural Network without retraining anew. While most methods address removal of nodes and features, Edge Unlearning (EU), aiming at forgetting e…
