With privacy concerns rising, we sometimes need our models to "forget" specific information - like a person's data - while keeping everything else intact. Researchers just released CLEAR, the first benchmark to test how well this works with both text and images.

โŒย Bad news: Current methods either fail to truly forget or end up forgetting way too much. It's like trying to remove a single ingredient from a baked cake!

โœจย But there's hope: Adding simple mathematical constraints (L1 regularization) during the forgetting process significantly improves results.

๐ŸŽฏย Key insights:

โœ…ย The benchmark tests forgetting on 200 fictional personas
โ€ฃ 3,770 visual Q&A pairs
โ€ฃ 4,000 textual Q&A pairs
โ€ฃ Additional real-world tests

๐Ÿ›‘ย Most current forgetting methods don't work well with both text and images
โ€ฃ They either remember what they should forget
โ€ฃ Or they forget too much unrelated information

โœจย Simple mathematical constraints work surprisingly well
โ€ฃ L1 regularization prevents excessive forgetting
โ€ฃ Works especially well with the LLMU method
