Evaluation of Machine Unlearning effectiveness on the CIFAR-10 dataset, specifically utilizing a 10% random subset as the forget set. Metrics include Unlearn Accuracy, Retain Accuracy, Test Accuracy, MIA, and Average Gap.

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 Random Forget 10% (train) |
| Metric | Retain Accuracy |
| Unit | PERCENT |
| Direction | Higher is better |
| Results loaded | 37 of 37 |
| 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

- [Retain Accuracy](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/machine-unlearning-on-cifar-10-random-forget-10-percent-train.md?metric=Retain%20Accuracy>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [Unlearn Accuracy](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/machine-unlearning-on-cifar-10-random-forget-10-percent-train.md?metric=Unlearn%20Accuracy>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [Test Accuracy](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/machine-unlearning-on-cifar-10-random-forget-10-percent-train.md?metric=Test%20Accuracy>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [MIA](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/machine-unlearning-on-cifar-10-random-forget-10-percent-train.md?metric=MIA>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [Average Gap](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/machine-unlearning-on-cifar-10-random-forget-10-percent-train.md?metric=Average%20Gap>): Lower is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [Forget Accuracy](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/machine-unlearning-on-cifar-10-random-forget-10-percent-train.md?metric=Forget%20Accuracy>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [RTE (Error Rate)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/machine-unlearning-on-cifar-10-random-forget-10-percent-train.md?metric=RTE%20(Error%20Rate)>): Lower is better; unit: PERCENT.
