TRACER uses token reassignment for concept-related items plus a coherence regularizer to unlearn specific concepts in generative recommendation while preserving utility better than baselines.
Unlearning objectives should be tailored to distinct language functions, with a meta-learned RMU variant for dangerous knowledge and a multi-layer probe objective for toxicity, yielding strong results on four 7-8B models.
REGLU guides LoRA-based unlearning via representation subspaces and orthogonal regularization to outperform prior methods on forget-retain trade-off in LLM benchmarks.
CatShift detects training data membership in LLMs by comparing output shifts induced by fine-tuning on member versus non-member data, relying on catastrophic forgetting without requiring logit access.
A data-centric survey finds that only information-flow control covers compositional and cross-session leakage in LLM agents and that no single benchmark tests an agent across all its data surfaces under one policy.
EEPO uses sample-then-forget rollouts with adaptive unlearning to boost exploration in RLVR, delivering relative gains of 24.3% on Qwen2.5-3B, 33.0% on Llama3.2-3B-Instruct, and 10.4% on Qwen3-8B-Base over GRPO across five reasoning benchmarks.
