Repairing Polluted Artificial Intelligent Systems with Machine Unlearning
People Involved
Project Description
This project is intended to seek in-depth understanding of the new promising decentralised machine learning scheme, namely federated learning, and develop a proof-of-concept algorithm-independent unlearning scheme for federated learning. Our new machine unlearning scheme will turn the repair of such polluted artificial intelligent systems on devices, such as smart phones, smart watches, into an environmentally friendly, effortless process, which reduces energy consumption incurred by model retaining and minimises the impact on user experience.

Evaluation of Federated Machine Unlearning using Membership Inference Attacks Oct 1, 2023 - Sep 30, 2026
Federated Learning (FL) is a type of distributed Machine Learning (ML) training technique that allows for accurate predictions without sharing sensitive data. This is possible, as FL allows everyone to train their own localised model and only share t...
