New research analyzes machine unlearning in second-order optimizers

A new paper analyzes machine unlearning techniques, particularly for second-order optimizers, finding current definitions may be insufficient. The research compares first-order and second-order optimizers in data deletion tasks, noting that while both methods show performance and gradient alignment, second-order optimizers exhibit state volatility. This volatility suggests residual information that first-order analysis might miss, indicating a need for controlled state perturbation to fully erase geometric information. AI

IMPACT Highlights potential gaps in current machine unlearning methods for advanced optimizers, suggesting new research directions for data privacy.

    Shape of Memory: a Geometric Analysis of Machine Unlearning in Second-Order Optimizers

    We argue that current definitions of machine unlearning are underspecified for second-order optimizers. We compare first-order and second-order learners for their ability to handle the data deletion task with varying degrees of eigendecomposition to mimic the loss model memory. W…
