Evaluation of Machine Unlearning effectiveness on the CIFAR-10 dataset, specifically utilizing a 50% random subset as the forget set. Metrics include Unlearn Accuracy, Retain Accuracy, Test Accuracy, FT AUC, 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 (50%) |
| Metric | Unlearn Acc |
| Unit | PERCENT |
| Direction | Higher is better |
| Results loaded | 27 of 27 |
| 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

- [Unlearn Acc](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/machine-unlearning-on-cifar-10-random-forget-50-percent.md?metric=Unlearn%20Acc>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [Retain Acc](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/machine-unlearning-on-cifar-10-random-forget-50-percent.md?metric=Retain%20Acc>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [Test Acc](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/machine-unlearning-on-cifar-10-random-forget-50-percent.md?metric=Test%20Acc>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [FT AUC](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/machine-unlearning-on-cifar-10-random-forget-50-percent.md?metric=FT%20AUC>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [Avg Gap](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/machine-unlearning-on-cifar-10-random-forget-50-percent.md?metric=Avg%20Gap>): Lower is better; unit: SCALAR.
