Evaluation of Machine Unlearning effectiveness on CIFAR-10, focusing on metrics quantifying unlearning accuracy (UA, RA), privacy leakage assessment via Membership Inference Attacks (MIA), and residual error metrics (RTE, TA).

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 | Machine Unlearning |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | CIFAR-10 |
| Metric | Unlearning Accuracy (UA) |
| Unit | PERCENT |
| Direction | Higher is better |
| Results loaded | 10 of 10 |
| 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

- [Unlearning Accuracy (UA)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/machine-unlearning-effectiveness-assessment-on-cifar-10-ua-mia-focus.md?metric=Unlearning%20Accuracy%20(UA)>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [Test Unlearning Accuracy (UAtest)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/machine-unlearning-effectiveness-assessment-on-cifar-10-ua-mia-focus.md?metric=Test%20Unlearning%20Accuracy%20(UAtest)>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [Retained Accuracy (RA)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/machine-unlearning-effectiveness-assessment-on-cifar-10-ua-mia-focus.md?metric=Retained%20Accuracy%20(RA)>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [Target Accuracy (TA)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/machine-unlearning-effectiveness-assessment-on-cifar-10-ua-mia-focus.md?metric=Target%20Accuracy%20(TA)>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [MIA Score](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/machine-unlearning-effectiveness-assessment-on-cifar-10-ua-mia-focus.md?metric=MIA%20Score>): Lower is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [Average Performance Gap](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/machine-unlearning-effectiveness-assessment-on-cifar-10-ua-mia-focus.md?metric=Average%20Performance%20Gap>): Lower is better; unit: SCALAR.

- [Residual Training Error (RTE)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/machine-unlearning-effectiveness-assessment-on-cifar-10-ua-mia-focus.md?metric=Residual%20Training%20Error%20(RTE)>): Lower is better; unit: SCALAR.
