用低秩适配实现医疗图像分割模型的选择性遗忘,既删敏感信息又保整体性能。

Erase to Retain: Low Rank Adaptation Guided Selective Unlearning in Medical Segmentation Networks

  • 通过低秩适配约束学生网络在解码器低秩空间中定向擦除病变特征。
  • 在ISIC数据集上,遗忘集的交并比从0.875降至0.509,保留集仍保持0.647~0.677。
  • 支持可控、可逆的遗忘,适合隐私合规与持续数据更新场景。

医疗分割模型选择性移除知识的能力对隐私合规、伦理部署和持续数据修订日益重要。本文提出Erase to Retain,一种基于教师-学生蒸馏与低秩适配(LoRA)的可控遗忘框架,可在无需全量重训练的前提下实现目标遗忘。方法通过对抗优化LoRA模块,使其在指定遗忘子集上与教师的置信预测相悖,强制语义删除;随后通过仅微调头部的温和恢复阶段,重建在保留数据上的泛化能力。在ISIC分割任务中,遗忘集的交并比(IoU)由0.875降至0.509,而保留集与验证集的性能维持在0.647至0.677之间。在跨域CHASE数据集上,该方法一致降低遗忘集的IoU,同时保持保留与验证集的实用性。对于ISIC分类任务,遗忘子集准确率从87.0%降至64.1%,保留集准确率则从83.9%提升至90.6%。结果表明,基于LoRA的子空间遗忘为医疗图像分析中的负责任、可控且可逆遗忘提供了可行路径。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

The ability to selectively remove knowledge from medical segmentation networks is increasingly important for privacy compliance, ethical deployment, and continual dataset revision. We introduce Erase to Retain, a controllable unlearning framework for medical image segmentation that achieves targeted forgetting without full retraining. Our method uses a teacher-student distillation paradigm with Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) constrained subspace updates, enabling the student network to erase lesion-specific or class-specific representations in low-rank decoder spaces while preserving global anatomical understanding. During the strong unlearning phase, LoRA modules are adversarially optimized to contradict the teacher's confident predictions on a designated forget subset, enforcing semantic removal. This is followed by a gentle restoration phase that recovers generalization on retained data through head-only supervised refinement. For ISIC segmentation, the student reduces forget-set IoU from 0.875 to 0.509 while maintaining competitive performance on the retain and validation splits (0.647 to 0.677 IoU). On the cross-domain CHASE dataset, Erase to Retain consistently lowers forget-set IoU while preserving utility on retain and validation sets. For ISIC classification, our method decreases accuracy on the forget subset from 87.0 percent to 64.1 percent while improving retain accuracy from 83.9 percent to 90.6 percent. These results demonstrate that LoRA-based subspace unlearning provides a practical pathway toward responsible, controllable, and reversible unlearning in medical image analysis, enabling models to forget sensitive samples or structures while preserving performance where it matters most.
