Do Influence-Derived Data Perturbations Enable Machine Unlearning? A Controlled Study of Three Plausible Roles
We evaluate Deep Perturbation Learning (DPL), which perturbs training images and labels along influence-derived directions, in three roles in which prior work has positioned it for machine unlearning: a direct deletion signal (the strongest claim), a utility-preserving regularizer, and a warm start for adversarial unle...
