• Authors: Osvaldo Simeone, Sangwoo Park, Joonhyuk Kang
• Abstract summary: Machine learning methods adapt the parameters of a model, constrained to lie in a given model class, by using a fixed learning procedure based on data or active observations. With a meta-trained inductive bias, training of a machine learning model can be potentially carried out with reduced training data and/or time complexity. This paper provides a high-level introduction to meta-learning with applications to communication systems.

• Abstract: Machine learning methods adapt the parameters of a model, constrained to lie in a given model class, by using a fixed learning procedure based on data or active observations. Adaptation is done on a per-task basis, and retraining is needed when the system configuration changes. The resulting inefficiency in terms of data and training time requirements can be mitigated, if domain knowledge is available, by selecting a suitable model class and learning procedure, collectively known as inductive bias. However, it is generally difficult to encode prior knowledge into an inductive bias, particularly with black-box model classes such as neural networks. Meta-learning provides a way to automatize the selection of an inductive bias. Meta-learning leverages data or active observations from tasks that are expected to be related to future, and a priori unknown, tasks of interest. With a meta-trained inductive bias, training of a machine learning model can be potentially carried out with reduced training data and/or time complexity. This paper provides a high-level introduction to meta-learning with applications to communication systems.

  We present Unlearning Information Bottleneck (UIB), a novel information-theoretic framework designed to enhance the process of machine unlearning. By proposing a variational upper bound, we recalibrate the model parameters through a dynamic prior that integrates changes in data distribution with an affordable computational cost. Our experiments across various datasets, models, and unlearning methods demonstrate that our approach effectively removes systematic patterns and biases while maintaining the performance of models post-unlearning.

  In this paper, we focus on efficient unlearning methods for the task adaptation phase of a pretrained large language model. We observe that an LLM's ability to do in-context learning for task adaptation allows for efficient exact unlearning of task adaptation training data. We propose a new holistic measure of unlearning cost which accounts for varying inference costs.

  Recent data-privacy laws have sparked interest in machine unlearning. Challenge is to discard information about the forget'' data without altering knowledge about remaining dataset. We adopt a projected-gradient based learning method, named as Projected-Gradient Unlearning (PGU) We provide empirically evidence to demonstrate that our unlearning method can produce models that behave similar to models retrained from scratch across various metrics even when the training dataset is no longer accessible.

On the other hand, PILOT fits typical class-incremental learning algorithms within the context of pre-trained models to evaluate their effectiveness.
