# Phi-1.5 TOFU Unlearning Model

This model is a variant of the Phi-1.5 model, fine-tuned on the TOFU (Task of Fictitious Unlearning) dataset and then subjected to various unlearning algorithms.

## Model Details

- **Base Model**: Phi-1.5
- **Training**: Fine-tuned on TOFU dataset
- **Unlearning**: Applied various unlearning algorithms

## Unlearning Algorithm

This model uses the `idk_1e-05` unlearning algorithm with the following parameters:
- Learning Rate: `forget10`
- Forget Percentage: `N/A%`


## Revisions

The model is organized into multiple revisions, each representing a checkpoint during the unlearning process. The revision names follow the pattern `checkpoint-X`, where X is the checkpoint number.

## Loading the Model

To load a specific revision of this model, you can use the following code:

```python
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

# Replace 'checkpoint-X' with the desired revision (e.g., 'checkpoint-12')
revision = "checkpoint-X"

model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("locuslab/{model_name}", revision=revision)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("locuslab/{model_name}", revision=revision)
```

## TOFU Dataset

TOFU (Task of Fictitious Unlearning) is a dataset designed for training and evaluating unlearning algorithms in language models. It simulates scenarios where certain information needs to be "forgotten" or removed from the model's knowledge.

## Unlearning Process

1. The base Phi-1.5 model was first fine-tuned on the TOFU dataset (checkpoint-625).
2. Various unlearning algorithms were then applied to this fine-tuned model to selectively "forget" certain information.
3. The results of these unlearning processes are captured in the different revisions of this model.

## Usage and Limitations

This model is primarily intended for research purposes, particularly in the field of machine unlearning and privacy in language models. It may not be suitable for general-purpose language tasks without further evaluation.
