lindafei001/tofu-forget10-relearned-UNDIAL
The lindafei001/tofu-forget10-relearned-UNDIAL model is a 1 billion parameter Llama-3.2-1B-Instruct variant, specifically fine-tuned for research into unlearning evaluation. It demonstrates the process of restoring forgotten information into a model that previously underwent unlearning, showing that relearning is significantly faster than initial learning. This model is a research artifact, not intended for deployment, and focuses on the efficiency of re-acquiring specific facts after an unlearning procedure.

Overview
This model, lindafei001/tofu-forget10-relearned-UNDIAL, is a 1 billion parameter Llama-3.2-1B-Instruct variant. It serves as a research artifact within the "Illusion of LLM Unlearning" collection, specifically designed to investigate the efficiency of re-teaching forgotten information to a model. The model was created by taking an unlearned checkpoint (from open-unlearning/unlearn_tofu_Llama-3.2-1B-Instruct_forget10_UNDIAL_lr1e-05_beta10_alpha1_epoch10) and subjecting it to 300 optimizer steps of supervised fine-tuning on the original 'forget set'.
Key Characteristics
- Unlearning Reversal Research: Demonstrates that restoring a forgotten fact is considerably faster than teaching it to a model that never learned it initially.
- Performance Metrics: Achieved a verbatim NLL on the forget set of 0.0134 after 300 steps, significantly lower than its pre-relearning NLL of 0.386. This indicates strong re-memorization of the forgotten data.
- Training Details: Fine-tuned using
adamw8bitoptimizer with a learning rate of 1e-06, on the TOFUforget10_perturbeddataset, focusing loss only on the answer portion of question/answer pairs.
Intended Use
- Research on Unlearning Evaluation: Primarily for academic and research purposes to study the dynamics of unlearning and relearning in LLMs.
- Not for Deployment: This model is a research artifact based on synthetic data about fictitious authors and is not suitable for real-world deployment or applications requiring factual accuracy.
