Evaluation of Machine Unlearning performance on the MedMCQA dataset, reporting metrics related to forgetting, knowledge preservation, and resistance to Membership Inference Attacks (MIA).

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) | MedMCQA |
| Metric | Forgetting Rate |
| Unit | PERCENT |
| Direction | Higher is better |
| Results loaded | 6 of 6 |
| 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

- [Forgetting Rate](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/machine-unlearning-on-medmcqa.md?metric=Forgetting%20Rate>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

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

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

- [HMTA](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/machine-unlearning-on-medmcqa.md?metric=HMTA>): Higher is better; unit: SCALAR.

- [MIA Resistance](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/machine-unlearning-on-medmcqa.md?metric=MIA%20Resistance>): Higher is better; unit: SCALAR.
