Noisy Certified Unlearning Hits Utility Ceiling in Mass Deletion

gkdziugaite · x · 2026-07-07

Existing noise-based certified machine unlearning methods have a fundamental limitation: the amount of noise required to guarantee unlearning certification severely damages model utility in large-scale deletion request scenarios, creating a utility ceiling. This bottleneck prompted researchers to develop the ALU framework, which leverages public data to reduce noise-induced costs.
