• Abstract: We introduce a novel machine unlearning framework founded upon the established principles of the min-max optimization paradigm. We capitalize on the capabilities of strong Membership Inference Attacks (MIA) to facilitate the unlearning of specific samples from a trained model. We consider the scenario of two networks, the attacker $\mathbf{A}$ and the trained defender $\mathbf{D}$ pitted against each other in an adversarial objective, wherein the attacker aims at teasing out the information of the data to be unlearned in order to infer membership, and the defender unlearns to defend the network against the attack, whilst preserving its general performance. The algorithm can be trained end-to-end using backpropagation, following the well known iterative min-max approach in updating the attacker and the defender. We additionally incorporate a self-supervised objective effectively addressing the feature space discrepancies between the forget set and the validation set, enhancing unlearning performance. Our proposed algorithm closely approximates the ideal benchmark of retraining from scratch for both random sample forgetting and class-wise forgetting schemes on standard machine-unlearning datasets. Specifically, on the class unlearning scheme, the method demonstrates near-optimal performance and comprehensively overcomes known methods over the random sample forgetting scheme across all metrics and multiple network pruning strategies.

  This paper focuses on the challenge of machine unlearning, aiming to remove the influence of specific training data on machine learning models. Traditionally, the development of unlearning algorithms runs parallel with that of membership inference attacks (MIA), a type of privacy threat. We propose a game-theoretic framework that integrates MIAs into the design of unlearning algorithms.
