提出可调控的量子模型遗忘框架,精准删除数据影响而不伤原有性能。

Distribution-Guided and Constrained Quantum Machine Unlearning

  • 基于模型相似性设计可调目标分布,实现类级遗忘控制。
  • 遗忘后保留类准确率仅降0.8%,接近全重训练效果。
  • 适合需要安全可控遗忘的量子机器学习场景。

机器遗忘旨在不进行完整重训练的情况下,消除特定训练数据对模型的影响。尽管近期已有研究探索量子机器学习中的遗忘机制,但现有方法多依赖固定均匀的目标分布,且未显式控制遗忘与模型行为保留之间的权衡。本文提出一种类级别量子机器学习遗忘的分布引导框架,将遗忘建模为约束优化问题。方法引入基于模型相似性统计的可调目标分布,使遗忘类置信度抑制与保留类间的重新分布解耦。同时引入锚点保持约束,显式维护对选定保留数据的预测行为,从而实现对原始模型偏差的可控优化轨迹。在使用Iris和Covertype数据集训练的变分量子分类器上评估,结果表明:遗忘类置信度显著降低,保留类性能下降极小(<0.8%),且更接近全重训练基线,优于均匀目标遗忘方法。这些发现凸显了目标设计与约束建模在可靠、可解释的量子机器学习遗忘中的重要性。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Machine unlearning aims to remove the influence of specific training data from a learned model without full retraining. While recent work has begun to explore unlearning in quantum machine learning, existing approaches largely rely on fixed, uniform target distributions and do not explicitly control the trade-off between forgetting and retained model behaviour. In this work, we propose a distribution-guided framework for class-level quantum machine unlearning that treats unlearning as a constrained optimization problem. Our method introduces a tunable target distribution derived from model similarity statistics, decoupling the suppression of forgotten-class confidence from assumptions about redistribution among retained classes. We further incorporate an anchor-based preservation constraint that explicitly maintains predictive behaviour on selected retained data, yielding a controlled optimization trajectory that limits deviation from the original model. We evaluate the approach on variational quantum classifiers trained on the Iris and Covertype datasets. Results demonstrate sharp suppression of forgotten-class confidence, minimal degradation of retained-class performance, and closer alignment with the gold retrained model baselines compared to uniform-target unlearning. These findings highlight the importance of target design and constraint-based formulations for reliable and interpretable quantum machine unlearning.
