  • 用知识蒸馏与优化机制实现高效无历史数据存储的遗忘。
  • 新框架Skyeye通过GAN生成样本,评估遗忘效果。
  • 适合关注隐私保护与模型可解释性的研究者使用。

随着数据隐私与安全的重要性日益提升,联邦遗忘作为新兴研究领域,致力于确保在特定数据被删除后,联邦学习模型不再保留或泄露相关资讯。本文首次提出了完整的联邦遗忘流程,包括一种联邦遗忘方法及相应的评估框架。所提方法无需存储历史数据,兼顾高效率与模型精度,有效结合知识蒸馏模型与多种优化机制。此外,我们提出名为Skyeye的可视化评估框架,将联邦遗忘模型作为生成对抗网络(GAN)中的分类器,由分类器与判别器共同指导生成器生成样本,生成器通过学习分类器知识进行演化,最终通过生成样本与被删数据的相关性来评估模型遗忘能力。大量实验验证了所提方法与评估框架的有效性。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

With the increasing importance of data privacy and security, federated unlearning has emerged as a novel research field dedicated to ensuring that federated learning models no longer retain or leak relevant information once specific data has been deleted. In this paper, to the best of our knowledge, we propose the first complete pipeline for federated unlearning, which includes a federated unlearning approach and an evaluation framework. Our proposed federated unlearning approach ensures high efficiency and model accuracy without the need to store historical data.It effectively leverages the knowledge distillation model alongside various optimization mechanisms. Moreover, we propose a framework named Skyeye to visualize the forgetting capacity of federated unlearning models. It utilizes the federated unlearning model as the classifier integrated into a Generative Adversarial Network (GAN). Afterward, both the classifier and discriminator guide the generator in generating samples. Throughout this process, the generator learns from the classifier's knowledge. The generator then visualizes this knowledge through sample generation. Finally, the model's forgetting capability is evaluated based on the relevance between the deleted data and the generated samples. Comprehensive experiments are conducted to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed federated unlearning approach and the corresponding evaluation framework.
