Researchers have developed DISCERN, a novel method for incremental machine unlearning that addresses the challenge of sequentially removing data classes from a trained model without compromising previously forgotten information or the integrity of remaining classes. DISCERN utilizes synthetic embeddings sampled from per-class parametric distributions, offering flexibility in fitting various latent geometries, particularly for transformer architectures. Evaluations on datasets like MNIST, CIFAR-10, and CIFAR-100 demonstrated DISCERN's competitive performance in simultaneous unlearning and superior stability in incremental scenarios, significantly reducing the resurfacing of forgotten classes.
