Evaluation of Large Language Model (LLM) unlearning performance on the NEWS dataset, measured by metrics assessing verification memory, knowledge retention, privacy leakage, and utility preservation.

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.

| Scope | Recorded value |
| --- | --- |
| Task | LLM Unlearning |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | NEWS |
| Metric | Verification Memory (VerMem) |
| Unit | PERCENT |
| Direction | Lower is better |
| Results loaded | 16 of 16 |
| Coverage | All results currently returned for this benchmark |

Evaluation settings may differ between results. The original papers and recorded configurations are needed to establish comparability. A shared metric name alone does not establish an identical protocol.

## Metrics

- [Verification Memory (VerMem)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/llm-unlearning-on-news.md?metric=Verification%20Memory%20(VerMem)>): Lower is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [Knowledge Memory (KnowMem)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/llm-unlearning-on-news.md?metric=Knowledge%20Memory%20(KnowMem)>): Lower is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [Privacy Leakage (PrivLeak)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/llm-unlearning-on-news.md?metric=Privacy%20Leakage%20(PrivLeak)>): Lower is better; unit: SCALAR.

- [Utility Preservation (UtilityPres)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/llm-unlearning-on-news.md?metric=Utility%20Preservation%20(UtilityPres)>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.
