Do Unlearning Methods Remove Information from Language Model Weights?Oct 11, 2024 Untraced · nothing upstream recorded

Our results also suggest that unlearning evaluations that measure unlearning robustness on information learned during an additional fine-tuning phase may overestimate robustness compared to evaluations that attempt to unlearn information learned during pretraining.
