Evaluation of Machine Unlearning effectiveness on the CIFAR-10 dataset under a class-wise forgetting scenario, reporting metrics related to retention accuracy (RA), forgetting accuracy (FA), target accuracy (TA), membership inference effectiveness (MIA-Eff.), and computational time.

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 Class-wise forgetting |
| Metric | Retention Accuracy (RA) |
| Unit | PERCENT |
| Direction | Higher is better |
| Results loaded | 11 of 11 |
| 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

- [Retention Accuracy (RA)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/machine-unlearning-on-cifar-10-class-wise-forgetting.md?metric=Retention%20Accuracy%20(RA)>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [Forgetting Accuracy (FA)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/machine-unlearning-on-cifar-10-class-wise-forgetting.md?metric=Forgetting%20Accuracy%20(FA)>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

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

- [Accuracy Difference](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/machine-unlearning-on-cifar-10-class-wise-forgetting.md?metric=Accuracy%20Difference>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [MIA Effectiveness](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/machine-unlearning-on-cifar-10-class-wise-forgetting.md?metric=MIA%20Effectiveness>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [Time](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/machine-unlearning-on-cifar-10-class-wise-forgetting.md?metric=Time>): Lower is better; unit: TIME.
